From: [log in to unmask] Date: 6 Jun 95 10:51:43 -0600 Subject: RE: Pallidotomy in England Hi John, Your Mother-in-law can the UK Parkinson's disease Society on (0171) 383 3513. They should (I hope) be able to point you towards someone who can help. There are also a number of good doctors around London who might be able to help in other ways apart from Pallidotomy. On a general note, If people have other questions like "Who do I contact in the UK for.....", Dad or I probably know someone (or someone who knows someone) who might be able to help - being Chairman of the National Society for two years does help expand your address book! Feel free to give us a call on +44 1932 220073 (remember the time difference! :-). I'll be moving job (and email address) next month, so sending email to me direct would at the moment be counter productive. I don't get around to reading this list quite as regularly as I would like, although I do try and read it all sooner or later. Regards, Simon (still wading through PARKINSN email from months ago). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simon Coles | [log in to unmask] New Product Introduction Group | MS Mail ID: Motorola RNSG | Coles-CSC016 Simon Basingstoke, UK | Phone: +44 (1256) 484105 _______________________________________________________________________________ 27, 1995 5:07 pm Subject: Pallidotomy in England This is the first time I have sent a message, so I would like to introduce myself. My name is John Baker and I live in Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A. My mother-in-law has Parkinson's Disease. She has been a close friend of mine - I knew her before I knew my wife - for almost 25 years, so I have had the opportunity to watch the progress of the disease, which she has had for more than 30 years. Currently my mother-in-law lives in a nursing home in the town of Liss in the county of Hampshire, England. My wife and I wish to pursue the possibility that a pallidotomy might bring her relief. She is incapacitated to the point where travel is difficult, so treatment must be fairly local. Can anyone recommend a medical center or physician(s) in or around London or to the south of London which we might contact? My wife is currently visiting her mother and I will be going over June 4th for 10 days, so we will be pursuing opportunities most actively between now (May 26th) and our return on June 13th, though, if we are unsuccessful now, I am sure we will keep trying. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, John Baker 2320 Balsam Drive Boulder, Colorado 80304 U.S.A. [log in to unmask] --- John Baker
