A Petition For Epilepsy...
Fri, 09/08/2006 - 09:54Topic: Corner Booth
I belong to the Eplilepsy surgery group that is on Yahoo, AOL, and MSN, another support group like ours with helpful members and weekly chats. The woman who runs the group is petitioning the Oprah Winfrey and Dr. Phil show to do a special episode on Epilepsy, and we need your help!! All we need are 23 more names to add to the petition and she can send it in. If you would like to help all we need is your first and last name, and city and state in which you reside. If you don't feel comfortable posting it publically, you are more than welcome to email me through the forum, and I will add you to the petition.
Thanks in advance, once we know there definately will be an episode I will post the date, time, and other info here.

I posted this almost a year ago, and I'm pretty sure it already went in. I was unaware at the time that I wasn't a candidate for surgery, so I left the group seeing as how it was an Epilepsy Surgery group. I am pretty sure, however, someone here mentioned that no one was interested in it. I figure the best way to get it on TV is to contact Discovery Health Channel or maybe Discovery Science Channel. It might be a good idea to try regular news channels to do a short special on E. All I know is a couple months ago I saw here that the Oprah show wasn't interested. Susan
