on friday my regular hha was sick.
the replacement was a charming but not very bright
(or maybe just not well educated
lady from eritrea, who said
she was in her last year of nursing school.
i asked her what she knew of pd.
 you shake she said.
 and that is all she appeared to know.
so i started in on my little tutorial on pd
that i give new acquaintances,
 and i could see she wasn't following
 or understanding a thing.
 so i stopped in midstream,
 and said
 did they teach you the most important thing about  parkinson's?
yes , she said
and what is that?
imagine my delighted surprise when she answered

YOU MUST ALWALYS GIVE THEM THEIR MEDICINE
WHEN THEY WANT IT.
THEY KNOW WHEN THE NEED IT!!
