James Wheless, professor and chief of the Department of Pediatric Neurology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, gave lectures earlier this month at Korean hospitals on vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), a technique for treating people with epilepsy.
Dongsan Hearing, Korea’s sole VNS provider, said Wednesday that Wheless, a recognized authority on seizure disorders and epilepsy in children and adolescents, visited Seoul National University Hospital, Samsung Medical Center, Severance Hospital and Gachon University Gil Medical Center to give his lectures from May 8 to 10.
