To the Parkinson List: Should you, or anyone you know with Parkinson's Disease be contemplating a hospital stay there is significant information that should be given to the doctor, the head nurse and to each shift nurse. This will help provide a successful stay and may save much pain, frustration and perhaps your life. Responding to the troubles experienced by Parkinsons patients the Willamette Columbia Parkinsonian Society (Will-Cope) has published a leaflet that when filled out and given to the hospital personnel will help them care for you properly. Its purpose is to educate those who will care for you because in most cases they know very little about Parkinsons and how it affects people. Call 503 413-7717 or FAX 503 413-8409 for a FREE copy or write to Will-Cope, 1015 NW 22nd Ave, Portland OR 97210. Helen Mason BSN [log in to unmask]
