Cool Steph N -- brain issues

This summer, one of the reasons they wanted me to go in to the hospital so that they could insert a drain. The purpose of the drain is to drain fluids excess.

I was told that the cerebellum, compared to other parts of brain, is prone to collecting excessive fluids.

E-me, should you have any more question.
