I agree! However, I think we should ALL write to ABC. I also saw the 20/20
segment on Parkinson's. To air an article so poorly researched and
misleading is bad enough, but to air it on our first World Parkinson's Day
(and without even mentioning this special occasion) has done us all a
disservice. DBS is also being done in Canada.
Besides the incorrect information that Barb mentioned was the doctor's
statement that pallidotomies are only performed on one side. We know that to
be untrue also.
