Barb: I think my Dad has been pretty fortunate to have found a neuro who specializes in PD only about 10 miles from where he lives. But, whenever I hear anyone tell me that someone who has PD (or cerebral palsy, spina bifida, etc.) is lazy or not doing what they can to help themselves I always try to help that person to see the other side. In fact, I have even gone so far as to invite the person to come and spend a day with the children in my class, or with my father. No one's taken me up on the offer so far, so I suspect they got my message! Just saw the movie "Awakenings" for the third time. I hope that they used some of what they learned from those patients to help PWPs. Trish
