Hi All, I was fortunate to attend an educational presentation on the surgeries available for Parkinson's in our locale. Stereotactic Neurosurgical operations available at U.B.C. by Dr. Chris Honey was extremely well presented and very informative. Dr.Honey's team performed some 20 DBS treatments last year and are doubling that figure this year. A lot of the information presented is also available on Dr. Honey's website at: http://www.interchange.ubc.ca/choney/ In addition to all of this, a good friend gave me the URL's for a personal insight written by journalists in the UK. I will follow this up and post Michael Holman's Story so that you may all enjoy it. I thank Dr. Honey for his work and I thank my friends for offering to share the Financial Times story. Cheers ........ murray ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
