This was something that was printed in 2004. There is one man on this
group that had some brain surgery and cannot talk because the surgery
affected the speach part of his brain.

Thanks, Lara, for posting that. There have since been several more such
surgeries done; only on people with the most extreme symptoms, often
life-threatening in terms of neck injury from ticcing, etc. It remains a
very controversial procedure.
