Wayne Beno

Wayne Beno was a true outdoorsman.Fishing,boating,hunting,walking through the
woods with his three dogs,Wayne loved and did it all.Then life changed dramatically.
Wayne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease（帕金森氏病）.
"For the next thirteen years I took 28 pills a day,had horrible side effects,and even
with all those pills I still had lots of shaking and tremors（颤抖）.I only went out during peak
times,when I was looking and feeling my best.But that wasn't often and I really couldn't do
much of anything.I felt like the life I loved was over,"said Wayne.
Then Wayne's doctor in Green Bay suggested he consider a breakthrough surgical
option being offered at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin called Deep Brain
Stimulation（刺激）( DBS ). DBS is a surgical option used to treat disabling movement
disorders related to Parkinson's disease,essential tremor and more,It is not a cure,but
significant improvement is seen in most movement disorder cases,with relatively low risk to
the patient.
In addition to his doctor's recommendation,Wayne had a neighbor and fishing friend
who had the DBS procedure at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin.His friend's
experience convinced Wayne that the 180-mile trip from his home in Crivitz,Wisconsin
could be well worth the effort.
And was it ever.
"It was the best thing I ever did.I'm down to zero pills a day and I don't shake at all,"
reports Wayne. "Before the surgery,I felt bad every single day.Now I feel like my old
self.I'm back to business as usual,which for me means fishing,fishing,and more
fishing,every day of the year. Things just couldn't be any better!"

A:They cured his disease.
B:They produced terrible side effects.
C:They stopped his shaking and tremors.
