Peg, you touched on a little discussed topic...that being, the cause of death on death certificates. All kinds of research etc is based on death cents. When Kevin died, I was insistent that Parkinson's was listed as the cause. Not complications from but Parkinson's itself. It seems like a silly little detail but the long term benefit to patients in the future makes it so much more important. I hope others follow suite. You can have an impact on what is put on the death certificate...especially if you are using hospice!

Thanks for bringing it up!
