Listservice: We have been digesting a full course of Doctors and computer literacy. "It takes all kinds .." etc.etc. We are famliar with that old saw. We with PD consult neurologists They became professors in the most intricate of fields; neuroanatomy, physioloy, and neurochemistry of the BRAIN. When some little thing goes awry, we consult a physician. As James Joyce wrote once, " My neural circuitry isn' t functioning very well." We PDs feel that way most mornings. Our doctors have prescribed our medications which get us up and at it. These prescriptions have been researched, tested, and found to provide relief. Research goes on and new approaches are tried. Most physicians are associated with universities or other learning centers. Attendance at clinical conferences is required. A doctor should not be judged by the absence of a computer or other fancy gadget on his desk. He keeps up with the acquisition of knowledge in his own way in his own time. Let us not sell him short. We all know doctors who take their difficult patient-problems home, on vacation, to the theater, etc. (figuratively, that is), and do not rest until a solutioni found.
