-- [ From: Thomas F Southworth * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- Hello. My name is Sue Southworth. This is my first experience on the internet. My mother has had Parkinson's for 14 years. I am excited about the pallidotomies being done, and am trying to get as much information as possible about them. I am very interested in Dr. Iocono (sp?) at Loma Linda, but am aware that there is probably a very long waiting list for the surgery. I work for four obstetricians in the Washington, D.C. area and am delighted to be able to communicate with others on the subject of Parkinson's Disease. Sue Southworth [log in to unmask]
