Hi, all Thanks for writing back. Several people have written and commented favorably on Toronto. I Phoned up the Parkinson's Association here in Vancouver and it sounded like they have done quite a few Pallidotomies at Vancouver General Hospital. Dr. Honeywell and Dr. Turnbull's names were mentioned. It's sounds as though they favor doing Pallidotomies on one side of the brain only then later try the DBS on the other side if needed. Only 12 people a year here in BC are allowed to have the DBS (lack of funding? ). It also sounds like Dr. Honeywell has videos of *before* and *after* results, which should be interesting to see. Dr. Calne at the UBC Movement Disorder Clinic is away until Monday. We will have to try and contact him then. Take care Bye for now Susan To Email me: [log in to unmask] To see me: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/1391/index.html
