Parkinson's Disease: Episode 5: March - December 1966

from Letters from the Past · host Scott Ginther

This episode focuses on the correspondence between a Parkinson's disease patient and multiple doctors as they search for a treatment for the disease.   Dr. Greer's failure to obtain with dopa any beneficial effect in parkinsonism stands to some extent in contrast to our own findings.   I now should like to ask you whether you could help me in solving a financial problem I am faced with.  I am referring to one of your previous letters in which you were kind enough to offer me, if needed, financial help for my research work.   Your excellent paper was read by all with great interest and Dr. Aslan took it back to Romania with her.
