---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 30 Aug 1994 08:01:20 -0700 From: Robert Fink <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Introduction Barbara: Thank you for your welcome to the Parkinson List. I am a neurological surgeon, practicing in Berkeley, California, and deal with Parkinsonian patients. In my "younger days", I did some research work on various types of abnormal movement disorders, and, in the days of surgery for Parkinsonism, was active in that field. I also have a 90-year-old father-in-law (also a physician) who suffers from Parkinsonism and who lives in Hawaii. I treated him initially (with medication) and he is now under treatment in Hilo, Hawaii. Unfortunately, his disease is progressing now (he received about 7 years of excellent results from medications), as he is becoming refractory to the drugs now. I am interested in the latest work in this area, especially to try and be of help to "Grandpa", and will be forwarding some of what I learn from this List to him (by mail, as he is not "into" computers). I am looking forward to my involve- ment with this List. Sincerely, Robert A. Fink, M. D.
