This doctor is really totally unacceptable. The day he told
my husband he had PD he allowed him all of a 5 minute appointmet. Told
him he had PD, take this medication it will take care of things and
ushered him out the door. Never allowed my husband to ask questions
about PD or the meds or told him what to expect. At first I sort of
thought it may have been my husband's fault because he isn't really one
to ask a lot of questions. But, the other day when I talked to the doc
(I work at the same medical center) I had a small list of
questions/concerns I wanted clarified and he totally brushed me off and
wouldn't give me the time of day. He was actually downright rude and
totally insensitive.

Right on! You were obviously doing a GREAT job of being a CG and
patient advocate---I suggestthat this guy w ould do better as a used
car salesman than a doctor! (OOOPS---disclaimer--no offense to any
used car salespersons on the list!)
I hope you can find one who is not only more informed about PD but also
a nicer human being!
