Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be life-changing for people living with Parkinson’s disease, yet women are still less likely to receive this treatment. In a recent Oprah Daily feature, Dr. Okun explains how DBS works and why it can improve symptoms. 🔗ow.ly/Z4Rr50YveH7

@TMorishita_MD I hear ya. It’s not totally. Some of those powerful Intel Macs are still good. I almost bid on a maxxed out one at the UF Surplus website. But I really don’t need it with my current computers.

@BradleySchacht We have to find ways to say "no". I still have TV subscriptions but am pivoting more and more to physical. I have Xbox Game Pass but pivoted to the basic version only for multiplayer. Etc.

Why is everything a subscription now?!
