"I feel terrible when I hurt them. I feel like, 'Why am I doing this?'. I feel terrible." 14-year-old Zack Lamb has one of the most severe cases of Tourette Syndrome in the US. He involuntarily hits out at his family in violent rages. "When he was in a biting mode, he actually took a chunk right out of my arm", attests his father. With these tics worsening, their situation is desperate. The only procedure that might bring Zack and his family some peace, is a risky operation that involves planting an electrical device, deep in his brain. But can they find a surgeon willing to perform it? "Right now we are just playing Russian roulette with medicine."
