June 22, 2011 - "Miracle" outcome of epilepsy surgery
We are pleased to inform you of a national news story featuring an epilepsy local advocate. Daniel Jakubowitz, a volunteer for the Epilepsy Foundation of Long Island, was featured in a segment on the CBS Early Show on Wednesday, June 22. Daniel spoke with reporters about the success of his epilepsy surgery. Diagnosed at age six, Daniel had surgery five months ago to remove the part of the brain that was causing his seizures. He has been under the care of a multidisciplinary team of leading neurologists and staff at the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York for the past 20 years.
