The article re pallidotomy at MGH in Boston is interesting. However MGH is not "the only hospital in New England doing the procedure." Dr. David Roberts, a neurosurgeon at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Centre, in Lebanon, New Hampshire, is doing pallidotomies. For those living in this area who are interested in hearing more about this procedure, Dr. Roberts is talking to the Upper Valley Parkinson's Support Group about pallidotomy on Tuesday May 2 at 2:30. For information call the support group coordinator, Teresa Carpenter, RN, MS, at DHMC Neurology (603-650-7305) or Judy Hunter (802-295-9068) Barbara Yacos, RN <[log in to unmask]>
