Laughing, Crying, and Enduring: Ethics and Awake Deep Brain Stimulation

Paul J. Ford, PhD
Clinical Ethicist and Education Director
Cleveland Clinic

Awake surgeries for Deep Brain Stimulation provide opportunities for reflection on the ethical obligations and responsibilities within the operating room. The voices of patients regarding their experiences present fertile grounds for reflecting on these considerations based in lived experience. For this talk I will reflect on our interviews with 36 patients who underwent awake placement of Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson Disease. In particular, careful attention will be paid to themes of comfort, endurance, and humor.
