As a surgeon, you're into instant gratification and when patients wake up and say, oh my god, my life is better, you know you don't get that in medicine that often, and that's very gratifying from my perspective.
Imagine a world where you can hear your own eyeballs moving. Sounds like a sci-fi movie, right? But for those with Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome (SCDS), this is a daily reality. In this episode of 'All In The Mind', host Lynne Malcolm takes us into the lives of individuals who experience this rare and bewildering condition. You'll hear from patients who describe the unnerving sensation of hearing their blood flow, bones creak, and even their lungs breathe.
It's a journey into a condition so rare that many doctors haven't even heard of it. We also get an insider's view of the surgical procedures aimed at alleviating these symptoms. Ever wondered how such a surgery works? This episode brings you right into the operating room. Perfect for anyone curious about rare medical conditions and their impact on mental health, this episode offers a blend of personal stories and expert insights that will leave you both informed and fascinated.
