I share Susan Hamberger's distress about pallidotomy at Loma Linda. I hope this was not the typical experience but rather a rare exception. I would like to say that I found my experience at Mass General very professional. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Ress Cosgrove and his staff. I do not want to imply that my pallidotomy was stressless , but any stress I did feel can not be blammed on that fine staff. Ted Nelson 6 yr.. 62 pal 2/96
