Janice,
Although I've had a lot of negative experiences with the Medical Profession,
I have to say that I was amazed at the technological curve I witnessed going
through the transplant evaluation. I don't think I missed a machine or
procedure they have in the hospital (well maybe a couple). It's so much
different than it was 15 years ago, and the change from 6 years ago until
two years ago was even more incredible. It bothers me they still don't seem
to have found a definite cause for PD, and I was resentful that so much
research and attention was going to AIDS (this doesn't mean I'm not
sypathetic to them) when many other diseases appear to have taken a back
seat.
But like I said, the technological curve is so amazing I can't help but
feeling hopeful. I also noticed a major difference in the attitudes of the
medical staff. It was like they were being swept up in in an era of hope
themselves. It must be discouraging to them when there is nothing they can
do to help, and when there is they get excited. Maybe it was just this
particular hospital, but I don't think so.
David

Hi everyone,
I to was touched, I did not have tears in my eyes, I know now that
in ten years when I am in need of surgery I know that there will be even
better things. I was really touched by Cecil and her family they where so
close to each other. It scares me that I might have to get that bad before
something is done. I told my husband about the program, but he chose not to
watch it. It is hard on him and my heart goes out to him. I do love him so
much. We have been married for twenty nine years now. I do not know how he
will be able to handle the future. Janice 51/1.25/5
