Vital signs

Dr. Sanjay Gupta recently visited UF Health for his show Vital Signs on CNN.

In September, Sanjay Gupta, M.D., a neurosurgeon best known for his Emmy-winning work as CNN’s chief medical correspondent, visited UF Health to do a special segment on the work of Michael Okun, M.D., and Kelly Foote, M.D. Okun and Foote formed the UF Health Center for Movement Disorders and Neurorestoration in 2002 to bring together experts in movement disorders from diverse disciplines from all across the UF campus. One of the results of these campuswide collaborations is a new experimental deep brain stimulation device that is being tested for use in patients with Tourette syndrome. Gupta visited the UF team to learn about the new treatment and one patient’s story. October’s episode of Vital Signs, which airs on CNN International, focused on this new surgery.
