Dear Ray,

I know what it is like to have an excess of dopamine. After the poisoning and
subsequent damage to my globus pallidus, I was given sinemet by a well
meaning but ignorant physiatrist.
Well, it was not enough to give me Tourett's per se, but a constant stream of
obscenities came out of my mouth. It was all I could do to keep from saying
them outloud. Most often they came out in a whisper.
Thank you for the information on the PBS special.

Jacob
