Hi!
This is a very good idea. For example, I was recently diagnosed with
PD. But, I was in denial and wanted to get a second opinion. Because, I
went and saought a second opinion out of town, my specialist (who happens to
be the only one for my province) refused to see me after that!
I think some doctors also need to learn to understand human feelings.
Follow up on your idea.
Golod Luck!
