Very insightful and I now know what you mean garinda when you talked about your specialist!!! And that was prob him putting the charm on for the cameras too!!!!  |
Lol, yeah that was him at his most chatty and charming.
I too thought his brother was a total ****** until he broke down, and told him he was being hard because he couldn't protect his little brother anymore, as he had all their lives.
Talking of brothers, I know mine watched it, and he'll now know that there is a test to see if it is a genetic strain of the disease, and if it is there is a high chance siblings will develop it too. Amazingy what you learn from your doctor when he's on the telly and not face to face. Oh well, my half yearly appointment is next week so I can ask him.....if he's not signing autographs.
Just a point I noticed from the programme. The windowless, airless room where you wait to see the neurologist, formerly called the 'geriatric clinic' but now called the movement disorder clinic after a certain someone complained, was completely empty in the programme. Normally it's packed, and there are some poor pitiful souls in there. When the docs running more than two hours late we sometimes get a cup of tea...in a cup and saucer! The clinking and clanging of a room full of people with Parkinson's drinking from china can be heard all over the hospital.
