Judith, = You wrote:"Which is exactly the reason we should know about the bad as we= ll as the good." I say AMEN. My hope is that prospective pallidotomy patients will carefully check out= a surgeons track record, How many pallidotomies have they done and what hav= e been the results? Also concerning the pallidotomy web ring I hope that Jerry Finch or whomever is responsible could somehow link the pallidotomy web site with the word *pallidotomy* so that searches could find it. I was unable to find it after it changed location applying all the search engines at my disposal. Thanks Judith and Jerry for keeping us informed, Don Berns
