Hi Karl,
I am with you all the way on this one. I have often had similar thoughts when I see the way we all hold forth on medical matters, using medical terms we may not understand, or interpreting a complex medical article in the way we want it to read. I have often been reading a post that interests me very much, but I felt how useful it would be if there was a doctor monitoring posts, and could break in and say you are not quite correct in......... or you have a good grasp of this subject........ I would be very happy if I had misused a term or misinterpreted a paper, for a Doc to gently say, "Sorry you got it wrong Ron".
By the same token, we could offer the doc or docs the help of all of us who suffer PD. If they wanted a poll on a certain idea etc. or any other way we could help their research.
As you say, "Is there anybody out there???
If so, please reply
Ron
