The brain is the most complex structure in the Universe, and neurologist–– to deduce the anatomical location of the areas causing their seizures. Only then does she have a chance of offering them any treatment, and hopefully a cure. Suzanne O'Sullivan qualified in medicine in 1991 from Trinity College Dublin. She is trained in both neurology and clinical neurophysiology. She has been a consultant since 2004 and has been at The National Hospital for Neurology and The Epilepsy Society since 2011.
