I went in with her to the appointment and we talked with him. We pointed out her symptoms and asked him to observe her gait. His assessment was that since she could draw a circle and her writing was NOT tiny, that she did NOT have Parkinson's, instead he diagnosed her with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and fitted her with a hand brace. "No", he said. "No PD".
