"The revival and refinement of stereotactic neurosurgery represents the most
important therapeutic advance in the treatment of movement disorders in the
past thirty years"
                    -an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine,
February 17. 2000


Fact:    there are +/-5,000,000 Parkinsonians in the world

Fact:    +/-10,000pocedres have been perforned

Fact:    there are +/-100 neurosurgeons in the world trained to perform
these procedures

Strange, eh

Fact:     there are+/-100,000 Parkinsonians in Canada

Fact:    20 new PWPs contract PD every working day or +/-5,000 per yeare

Fact    +/-43,000 residents of Canada have tested HIV+

Fact    +/-16,000 have converted to AIDS

Fact    +/-11,000 AIDS patients have died

FACT    There are currently +/-5,000 cases of active AIDS

FACT   One new case of AIDS is reprted every working day or +/-300 per year

FACT   There as many new cases of PD every year as there are cases of AIDS

FACT    The incidence of PD is increasing while that of AIDS is decreasing

You could say "there isn't any justice in the world"

Instead why not say "Some look at the way the world is and ask why.  I look
at the world as it might be and ask 'why not'?"
