From: John Brockman Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 9:13 PM To: Jeffrey epstein Subject: Feel better? SENT FROM MY PRIVATE EMAIL ACCOUNT > Feel better? JE, Feel fine. No pain, only inconvenient. But anxious. So I wrote up the history and wrote/talked to to three friends: Mike =azzaniga, Ramachandran, and Eric Kandel. Then I emailed the surgeon =ast night who had not given me his opinion about surgery as he hadn't =een the EMG tests yet. His people called today and said he wants to see =e in a month on Feb 7. I told them the neurologist was pushing with a =ense of urgency to have an operation asap. The surgeon's guy said the =as now seen all the test results and is comfortable with seeing me in a =onth. So he's obviously not pushing me to go to the hospital. In the meantime, I'm doing PT twice a week and going to look for =eldenkreis or Alexander person. Below are some responses. Thanks for you help and support. JB KANDEL CONVERSATION Spoke to Eric who said to avoid neck surgery unless its absolutely the =ast resort. He wants me to come up to Columbia to see his colleague - =inda Lewis, who he says is the best neurologist he knows. And to bring =ilm and test results. Tel no. RAMA RESPONSE From: "V.S. Ramachandran" te. Date: January 11, 2011 1:21:14 PM EST To: John Brockman < > Subject: Re: private John Very sorry to hear this. These things can be annoying even though =ot serious. As you know Im not a spinal surgeon but my overall inclination is to =ean in Jeffs direction. Always get multiple opinions before surgery - =ut do so SOON. Meanwhile III ponder over it and give you feedback in the next couple 4 days. Rest assured you can be optimistic Rama GAZZANIGA RESPONSE EFTA_R1_00122654 EFTA01792081
