Yeah, and he didn’t even ask for one until day 245 after the implant. That’s far more restraint than most of us have.
Edit: I just read in another news story that, sadly, this patient has been losing his ability to spell and is now mostly answering just yes/no questions. Which is sad but not unexpected. For most patients ALS progression is typically brutal and unrelenting, plus there’s always the issue with scar tissue forming around brain implants. But at least he was able to get some messages out to his family and have one last beer.
