There is publicity going on. Today on PBS I Jim Finn and his pig cell transplant was explained. In addition, there was a Greek Orthodox priest who had deep brain stimulation (what a difference that made) and a discussion of pallidotomy. This was preceded by a discussion of Parkinson's Disease. Very clear and easy to understand. It was from Maryland PBS. the program was Health Watch and something about Ask the doctor. I am going to call tomorrow to see if I can find out when these films were done. Of course we know about Jim Finn. I will let you know if I find out when the film was made. Many of you may have seen this, but I had. If I find out anything, I will post it. I understand that you (or most of you) know about Jim Finn and I had seen a patient who had had a deep brain stimulation, but never such a change from that surgery as the priest had I know I am talking about things you know about. I had thought deep brain stimulation was just for those with tremor, but the priest had much more. The point is that PD was discussed in depth. Nita
