Vihaan Smith, a 58-year-old architect, had always been the steady hand in his family and firm. For over a year, he had been plagued by increasingly debilitating tremors in his right hand, making drafting impossible and shaking his confidence. Diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, medication initially helped, but its effectiveness waned, leaving him frustrated and watching his life's work slip through trembling fingers. His neurologist, Dr. Chen, recommended stereotactic deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery to implant electrodes and control the tremors. Vihaan was terrified of brain surgery but desperate for stability. The procedure itself, under local anesthesia, was surreal, he was awake, following commands while the surgical team used the stereotactic frame's precise coordinates to place the leads. The immediate post-op period was uncomfortable, with the frame's removal and headache, but within days, the violent tremors were gone. After the stimulator was activated, he could hold a pencil steady for the first time in years. Emotionally, he journeyed from a place of profound loss and fear to one of reclaimed agency and quiet joy, deeply grateful for the technology that gave him his hands, and his purpose, back.
