Geeee, David... I haven't heard anything about a Dr. Iacono being locked out at Loma Linda. I'll give them a call tomorrow and find out what's going on, and baring that, should I not be able to reach Dr. Iacono's office, will give Don Berns a call at home (provided I still have his phone number 'round here somewhere), since Don works with the Loma Linda Movement Disorder Team. I'll let you know the moment I hear anything... good or bad. Regards, Barb Mallut, [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Disease - Information Exchange Network on behalf of David S. Devor Sent: Monday, March 11, 1996 12:44 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Iacono/Loma Linda Dear friends of Dr. Iacono, An individual here in Israel who has been waiting many months for his turn for a pallidotomy (due in April I believe) was just summarily informed, with no explanation, that Dr. Iacono will not do the procedure after all. They inferred from this that Dr. Iacono has been locked out of Loma Linda although this is just a guess. Their faxes seeking clarification have been repeatedly ignored. I know of other individuals that I have referred to Dr. Iacono who have been similarly ignored and/or abused. I have tried, unsuccessfully, to reach Tony at home or at work by phone and his email address has ceased to function. Can anyone enlighten me on what is happening? I feel obligated to find answers for those who may, to some degree, feel I have led them down the garden path. Besides, Aviva and I just spoke to a new PD club here in Jerusalem with about 30 members, several of which wanted to follow through and we're scheduled to speak to a much larger PD group again soon. We'd sure like to know the score before we do any more Iacono boosting. Tony, Alan, Don, Barbara, Muriel - anyone? Thanks, David S. Devor
