Yvonne, James Parkinson was an English MD. We Americans throw vast sums of money in the direction of improved medical care and medical research. You can count the medical breakthroughs in PD in the U.S. on one hand and have a few fingers left over. A few years ago my mother was touring in Exeter and fell, breaking a hip. The NHS did a wonderful job of taking care of her and her new hip joint. We are grateful. Some of the neurologists who specialize in PD are still on Harley Street, but most are participants in the NHS. I'm sure Princess Di's dad got good care with his PD. Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.

Date: Sunday, June 11, 2000 1:22 PM many of you have sent very kind emails in response to my request for help. thank you for that. i think my mother is due to see a neurologist. her symptoms seem very clear cut to me after looking at the web sites devoted to giving information about symptoms, and it would seem difficult for anyone with some knowledge to miss them now. however, some of you have said i must get her to see a 'movement disorders specialist'. would there be such specialists in england? health services in the states seem to be much more progressive than here. kind regards, Yvonne
