FYI, the Central Ohio Parkinson Society (COPS) president, Michael Beetner,
has produced an excellent
series of small booklets on different aspects of PD which doctors can give
to newly dxd patients. They are adding to the series also. Samples of the
packets were sent to Ohio support groups also. This is a more ambitious
effort than the small packets of information our own support group has
given out to docs, for the same purpose. I believe Michael is still
a member of this list, and perhaps he will comment on how the series has
been received?
