Dear Friends, William Berman of Montreal wanted you to see this. It's good to see hope coming out of my home town, Toronto. Blessings, David S.

Devor <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: My Pallidotomy Dear David, I hope this finds you and Aviva both well. I had a unilateral (right ) pallidotomy performed by Dr. Andres Lozano ( a really nice guy!) at the Toronto Western Hospital on July 21. The results have been very good, with some benefit accruing on the ipsilateral (right side) and excellent rsults on the contralateral (left) side including no more dyskinesias, no more crushing exhaustion, a fairly normal appearance and a real new zest for living. I'm in the process of composing a short history of my experiences, and will ship it along to you if you wish. Dr. Lang behaved himself pretty well throughout, and the general level of care was very high . Thanks for all you have done - you have helped me and others to screw up our courage and take a step to help ourselves. As to the famous medical controversy, who cares! Best regards, William Berman, Montreal Canada
