Bonnie,
The show "Frontiers of Medicine" is a creation of Medtronics, and from time
to time has Parkinson content - as one might expect.
Their web site,
http://www.frontiersofmedicine.com/
has the scripts of most, if not all, of the programs, but it is difficult
to navigate - for me at least. The web site lists the stations that carry
the show (link to "Calendar,") but it is difficult to interpret - again,
for me at least.
I would fault Medtronics not for the show, which is excellent, but for the
fact that it is so poorly publicized to us, Medtronics' customers and
potential customers.. I would urge everybody on the list to find out when
it is shown in their areas and watch when they can.
By the way, I have no financial interest in Medtronics, no Medtronics
instrument in my body, and no immediate intention to acquire such. But
even were I a Medtronics employee, which I am not, it would be appropriate
for me to call attention to this series of show to the listmembers.
Sorry, I don't know if it is available outside the United States.
