Jenny’s Story: Fighting Epilepsy

Epileptic seizures can turn a person’s world upside-down—something former fashion model Jenny Varner knows all too well.

This program shows UCLA Medical Center neurosurgeon Itzhak Fried and Dr. Susan Bookheimer performing brain surgery guided by the exacting process of brain mapping. Wide awake, Jenny helps guide the surgical team as they work dangerously close to her speech and language centers. A Discovery Channel Production. (23 minutes)
