Dr. Jarvis The address to write to ER is [log in to unmask] But i didn't go into detail before about the story line - it wasn't promoting the idea that the intern with PD should be trained to be an ER doctor. He was just doing his required ER rotation for a few weeks. He acknowleged this would be one of the most difficult for him - and clearly his physical limitations caused serious problems. They didn't say what field of medicine he wanted to go into, but it was obvious it wouldn't be anything like emergency medicine or surgery. He did however show more compassion and understanding of teh ER patients than all the other doctors combined! When he told the nurse - the one person who talked to him about Parkinson's - about his diagnosis, she said if it were her, she would want to take off and travel around the world. He replied that the dx caused him to reevaluate his life - a reaction i know i can relate to personally -- and apparently what he most dreamed about was becoming a doctor. I thought this program was a very realistic portrayal of a young onset PWP - and of Parkinson's Disease in the workplace.
