To Glenna and Don C.: I am attaching a note I wrote to Dr. Mitchell Mills, a retired thoracic surgeon who wrote a poster on this net. Good luck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------Subj: Re: Hospitalization of Parkinson's Patients Date: 96-02-13 01:41:47 EST From: [log in to unmask] (Michel Margosis) Sender: [log in to unmask] (Caregivers Are Really Essential (CARE)) Thanks Mitch: Your paper given at our local support group came in time. Though I often do not expect to immediately use much of information I get , we keep files, and your was right there. Barb had a major abdominal operation and is now back in the hospital with a setback, but with your advice we kept on top of the situation. We consulted and worked with the surgeon, neurologist, and primary physicians to provide and dispense our own medication, and especially work with the nursing staff. Even after retirement we can still be most useful. Thanks again. Michel Margosis
