It Ain’t Television… It’s Brain Surgery,” is a whimsical and enlightening first person account by Ray Farkas of his brain surgery operation.
Farkas, an Emmy award-winning producer and director, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in May 2000. Not wanting to live the rest of his life with tremors and other symptoms, he decided to undergo Deep Brain Stimulation surgery, a procedure intended to improve his quality of life.
A TV animal to the core, Farkas naturally thought, “Why not make a TV documentary out of it?” Multiple cameras capture the action on the operating table as he flirts with nurses, tells bad jokes and breaks into a song.
As Farkas wrestles with his fear of surgery, he discovers remarkable dedication from his medical team and unabated love and support from his family and friends.
