I agree with you. And have a question for you. What are the details of the French operation being done with such success? I need the information for my cousin in Norway. He is in his 10th year of PD. It is a puzzle to me that he does not have the most up-to-date information available on procedures for PD, being done in countries around the world. I would also like to know what happened to questions 1 - 6?
