Hospitalization In a message dated 97-02-01 11:23:12 EST, [log in to unmask] (Kenneth Goodrich) writes: << We are concerned with her Parkinsons medications while in the hospital and whether pre-operative preparation and post-surgery care will be attentive to any particular problems related to her Parkinsons. Does anyone have advice for us >> Ken my experience has been that the nurses dispense medicine to their schedule rather than yours. My doctor now lets me hold my PD medication and authorizes on my chart that I can take my PD at my schedule so long as I notify my nurse when I have taken a pill.. It sure beats leg cramps because nurses not available to dispense my medicine timely. Dale Severance [log in to unmask] ---------------------
