Trophy A Thankyou note for Nick Nelson author of "Monkeys in the Middle" @ Neurotalk PD
Dear Nick Nelson,
I am a Parkinson's sufferer...as your book's first Chapter's quote from
James Parkinson's essay on the shaking palsy so elegantly put describes our illness -

The unhappy sufferer has considered it an evil from the domination of which
he had no pospect of escape...

I am very sure this escape was provided~ yet justice was not served to the
patients - & civility was not shown by Amgen... human they knew not what humanity should have done.

I want to "Thank you" for having the courage to write our story humanely...
and truthfully...

Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these.
