Good article Endless, thanks.
Esp. agreed with the 'doctor/patient' comment... so true and only if it could be like that for everyone.
 
The Dr. in this article also says:
The measures suggested to reduce SUDEP risk are only speculative suggestions, Shorvon writes, based on data about what leads to SUDEP. If medications don't help, Shorvon writes, epilepsy surgery can help make a patient seizure-free and probably reduces the risk of SUDEP.

This isn't necessarily true, either. Surgery doesn't always make a patient seizure-free.
