Dear Andy: I have read more complex explanations of scientific
procedures in my son's "Magic School Bus" books! While I appreciate the
fact that the more pallidotomies that you can have performed, the more
machines you sell; your company's description of the operation and the
risks involved is a bit understated
and in my opinion: oversimplified. As a 47 year old survivor of two
pallidotomies at the hands of an incredibly gifted surgeon, I know
firsthand the things that can go wrong! One slight slip, a nick, really;
and I couldn't walk or talk, dress or bathe myself, eat or have two
continuos thoughts going for two months. I attribute the fact that I
have made it back to wherever it is that I am now
to my Faith, to sheer luck & finally, determination. I do fell that all
PWP's need to have this information and to be able to look at it as an
option; but I don't think your storybook (yes, I found almost all of the
pictures at least storybook-like & at
the extreme-offensive!) adequately prepares the PWP to make that
decision. I'm sorry to be so hard on your presentation. Maybe I'm a PWP
with PMS! Egad
man-I hate that first picture...put a diaper on him & put him out to
pasture!
Anyway, now I've gotten myself so riled up that I almost
forgot-wasn't Irving Mills a composer, also. Seems to me I had a framed
piece of sheet music by him
hanging in my room back in my art deco daze!
