Lissen, Ken... and this is in confidence, m'dear... no blabbing it all over the Internet.... I mean this is JUST between you and I, 'kay? This MD has a very successful practice at UCLA Med Center... uhhhhh.... for a blind guy with a talking thumb. Patients come to him from all over the world to be treated. (Oh GAWD.. how do I tell him the rest of this story?) The halt and the lame, often accompanied by caregivers.. family... friends... you name it... wend their way to the sacred halls of healing because of one thing, and one thing ONLY...which is.... ummmmmm....which is.... Errrrrrrr... say Ken, ya know I really don't KNOW you very well..... Hmmmmmmmm.... (thinking).... 'cause of that maybe I'd better not tell ya? Yeah.... prolly not a good idea to just up and tell ya THAT.<giggle> WOW! I can't believe you almost sucked me into telling ya about this one unique thing the MD has....Whew. <LOL> Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange On Behalf Of Ken Becker Sent: Saturday, May 10, 1997 7:14 PM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: FW: Update: Collagen Injections in Vocal Cords OKAY, so this poor doctor is blind, so when he does a "double-blind" study it is really "triple-blind" ..and if he wears glasses while doing it, they call him "six-eyes", and he has this big swollen talking thumb! Well he is NOT going to do a prostate exam on ME any time soon! Another thought: When accupucture is performed, the needles are inserted in various parts of the body, to treat OTHER parts of the body, so when he sticks a needle in your neck, does that mean that maybe your FOOT will be able to talk? Imagine buying shoes? The salesman slips on a shoe and the foot says: OW! that's TOO TIGHT! <G> The worst part of this whole thing, when you finally go for the shot, you will not be able to stop laughing, and old doc six-eyes will go crazy trying to figure out what's funny about getting a shot in the neck! BTW do you know if I was right about "Song of the South"? ..............I just realized something...you go to a blind doctor, instead of HIM saying "how do YOU feel, YOU have to say "How do I feel?" I have to go talk to my thumb now, talk to YOU later!
