Default Wow!

The 1000th patient? That's pretty im[ressive.

Not to confuse anyone, but the FDA just approved focused ultrasound ablation for essential tremor. Rather than try to explain this, watch this video:
Parkinson's Disease | Dr. Sanjay Gupta Covers Focused Ultrasound for Dyskinesia

It's not approved for PD yet, but some might be interested.

PS
Dont forget that it takes time for these new therapies to be approved by insurance companies, also.
