>Jim, I saw your message about efforts to persuade your dad to go to Barrows for a second opinion. I'm in a similar situation; my mom is in Phoenix, and I would like for her to be evaluated there, too. I have wrote to Barrows a couple of weeks ago, but have not yet received a response. Have you been in contact with a particular physician there? If so, what's been your experience? I appreciate any advice you may have. Good luck with your dad.
