Ivan... Chill out. YOU are too stubborn to croak 'cause of Parkinson's! <rueful smile> Sending lotsa love your way - ya could use some, I 'spect. Barb Mallut [log in to unmask] ---------- From: Parkinson's Information Exchange on behalf of Ivan M Suzman Sent: Thursday, July 09, 1998 9:49 AM To: Multiple recipients of list PARKINSN Subject: Re: WHAT! Hi Marling, and people on the List......... Maybe I am cranky, too, Or maybe I am going just a little bit crazy. I just know PD isn't recognized as the monster it really is! Today another caregiver quit--I got a note, taped to the kitchen door, that reads in part: "I neither have the training nor the vocation to care for someone with a TERMINAL ILLNESS." Imagine reading that before breakfast. UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH --didn't PD kill SIdney Dorris of the NPF Dorris Award? Didn't I hear that he died of bowel obstruction DUE TO PARKINSON'S?? Morbidly yours, Ivan P>S> What about the virus theory?? Are there scientists on the List, or anyone, who would like to enter into this discussion? ^^^^^^WARM GREETINGS FROM^^^^^^^^^^ Ivan Suzman 48/11 [log in to unmask] Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 68 deg.
