Do you feel like a dummy sometimes? Are you someone living with epilepsy, caregiving for someone with epilepsy, or want to know what to do in case you have to administer aid to someone having a seizure? Are you a teacher, coach, family member or friend of somebody who has epilepsy and you feel uninformed about epilepsy and wish there was a comprehensive guide for... well.. dummies? FINALLY, the book that everybody needs has arrived!
From Wiley, the makers of the "For Dummies" series of books, comes a new installment: Epilepsy for Dummies! Your complete guide to understanding all aspects of the epilepsy journey. Greg sits down with the authors of this book - Dr. Elizabeth Thiele, a neurologist and epileptologist, and Lauren Aguirre, an author, journalist, epilepsy patient and caregiver to her children that also have epilepsy - for a very special TWO PART series that dives into the book and the process of writing it.
In part one, they discuss the inspiration for writing it, the rapidly-expanding knowledge of epilepsy and potential genetic causes of seizures, wearable technology and the future of epilepsy treatment, qualities of a doctor that patients value, and so much more! There is so much expertise between these two authors, you NEED this book and this podcast! Pre-order Epilepsy for Dummies now, or own it immediately in digital format!
Talk About It with Greg Grunberg is excited to be sponsored by Neurelis and by Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
