Hospital?!!: Hospital does not treat you A specialist in that hospital does! If epileptic surgery is involved it would be carried out in a specialist unit equipped to do it. Check on that

Yes it is: Alternatives to Epilepsy Surgery include VNS, use of add on meds, etc. it depends on the type of seizure and cause. Location is important (anterior temporal tip surgery vs other)
