In a senior aged person too frail or medically unable for surgery, could they have, say, an annual lumbar tap/ drainage? Seems to me if it can continue quality of life that it should be considered.

The video is informative and somewhat helpful. The doctors do not look very confident that the treatment will work and they both look infatuated with the moderator who looks most confident.😊 They both should put down their pens. Fiddling with their pens shows anxiety and makes me think the shunt treatment is not as effective as they are describing it to be. I think they’re probably being a little bit disingenuous and they know it.
