This was not easy to find\n\nComanche County Memorial Hospital proudly welcomes Johnny D. Duncan to its family of highly skilled physicians and surgeons. Dr. Duncan is a neurosurgeon with a special interest in spine surgery. He has been practicing since 1998 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.\n\nDr. Duncan's pursuit of a career in neurosurgery began with an interest in microsurgery. He initially received a doctor of optometry degree from Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, Illinois. After realizing his true interests were in the area of neurosurgery, he applied to medical school.\n\nAfter graduating from Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1992, he pursued a residency in neurosurgery. He completed his neurosurgery residency at the Oklahoma State University/Tulsa Regional Medical Center. While in residency, he developed a strong interest in spinal surgery. To gain more experience in spinal surgery, he completed a complex spine fellowship with academic distinction at the University of Arizona/University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. During his training, Dr. Duncan financed his schooling by working as an optometrist.\n\nOne of Dr. Duncan's passions, aside from his practice, is composing, playing, and singing contemporary Christian music with his wife Crystie. "I've been singing, playing and composing since I was 18," said Dr. Duncan. "I can't wait to find a praise band I can join here in Lawton."\n\nDr. Duncan is the father of three daughters: Amanda, 8; Jessica, 5; and Hannah, 4.\n\n"Lawton is a real family-oriented city. The people I've met have been very friendly and have made us feel right at home."\n\n----\n\nYou are not going to find phone numbers of patients or even a list of patients because of HIPAA laws. If you go to get medicine you will see that all medicine is covered up now so you can't even look over the counter and see the names of patients and what medications are in there.

It matters what interests you.  Me, personally, the brain interests me, so I would like to be in the field of neurology.  I know two other people who would rather go into pharmacy and cardiology, but that was their choices, and not mine.

Robert Agnew (Bob) [last updated February, 2003]\nIn November 2002, my wife and I moved to western Pennsylvania in order to be active participants in our grandchildren's lives. We are truly enjoying our experiences! I would love to hear from each of you!\n \n\nBob Borda [last updated September, 2004]\nI reluctantly signed up for e-mail, but here we go! I'd love to hear from East High alumni. I'm still in private practice in clinical neuropsychology, with offices in Arcola (at Houston Southwest Airport), Sugar Land (in a neurologist's office), and Austin (another neurologist), Texas. Drive a lot, fly some. My wife, Eleanor, has transformed our small acreage 25 miles south of downtown Houston into a rose/native plant nursery and wildlife preserve. It appears that I (finally) have developed a work ethic, so I get to enjoy our place less than I would like and then it typically involves yard work or remodeling. Cheers to all.\n \n\nRonnie Borod [last updated September, 2004]\nI am a partner in the law firm of Brown Rudnick, a Boston-based firm with additional offices in New York, London, Dublin, Washington, DC, Providence, and Hartford. I head the Structured Finance Group at the firm, which specializes in structuring and closing asset-backed securities transactions. I live in Boston but spend most weekends in Rhode Island with my wife, Doris Licht, who is an estate planning lawyer with another firm which is headquartered in Providence. We also own a beach house on the Rhode Island coast and spend as much time there as possible. I have 3 children, Gail (35), Emily (31) and Adam (27), all of whom live on the West Coast. Gail is married, has a baby daughter, Isabella, age 8 months, and is a project manager at Microsoft in Seattle. Emily was just married in August of this year, and lives in Portland, OR where she attends medical school. Adam is a consultant living in San Francisco.\n \n\nSarah Bradford [last updated April, 2003]\nDecided to surface and say "hey y'all" from Georgia!!! Planning to retire for real in a few months if the world doesn't stop turning!! Retired from Eastern Air Lines in '87 and moved to the country from Atlanta. Life's been the proverbial "Wild Ride of Mr. Toad" every since..but boy it's been fun as well as challenging...\nMade a good living in horticulture and landscape after real estate took up too much of my time..Then as age began to think it could creep up on me, I decided I'd best get somewhere with insurance and benefits, so until freedom is once again mine, I work in the company of 4 million books for a distributor called Baker and Taylor.\nI've raised two sons and a couple of foster kids..mostly by myself after a 14yr marriage almost spelled disaster. Both sons are married and I have 2 and 1/4 grandkids plus 3grandkids from a foster son that I am still very much in touch with.\nI live, by choice, in a very small trailer on my land where I generally have a garden and make attempts to grow flowers.\nIn both cases though, the weeds seem to always prevail..so every spring I go at it again....\nNothing earthshattering...just life on a rollercoaster..hehehe\nY'all email me and I'l try to answer....would love to hear from ya.\n \n\nSidna Brower [last updated September, 2004]\nI attended the first 20th reunion and hope to make the 45th. In 2002, I retired as deputy director of the NJ Council on Affordable Housing. My husband, George, and I lived in Bernardsville, NJ, (Somerset County)for almost 30 years; there I was active in politics, church and the library. I really got involved when we moved to a retirement community in Middlesex County almost five years ago. I ran for the NJ State Assembly last year and almost won in a heavily Democratic district---just missed by about 700 votes out of 54,000 cast---so I may run again next year. I'm president of the Rossmoor Republican Club, GOP Monroe Township municipal chair, Middlesex County GO

My husband, 24, has got an AVM in the Right parietal lobe of his brain.   I am not sure what a syrnix is, or where her AVM may be.  He was diagnosed with the AVM almost 2 years ago now, and has undergone 5 embolizations of it, with still more to go.  It has been a long, up and down battle, but as of now he is doing great!!   If you have any questions, or want to contact me, don't hesitate!--  Email me.  sonotech02@yahoo.com  \n  I work in the medical feild and have been researching this for the past 2 years with assistance from many doctors!

You should ask the doctor or surgeon treating the patient.  I wouldn't even guess unless you told me what part of the brain was damaged.

Brains are beautiful.  I dated a guy that couldn't use one of his arms, walked w/ a limp and was obnoxious (due to a frontal lobe brain injury) simple because he was so intelligent and interesting to be around.

The sheer level of intricacy this would take would be astounding.\n\nI'd say that due to neural path differences, the mere act of thinking could cause plenty of trouble to the other part of the brain.  If the surgery were advanced enough to adjust neural pathways to compatibility, not only would this "brain" be altered beyond the original two into an unrecognizable abomination, it would only recognize itself as one entity.\n\nSo theoretically, if this were done in a survivable manner, yes, because it would be one.
