Hi, Paula,
Have you read the oath that doctors must state before they receive their doctorate M.D. degree. It reads very much like a Mason or Knights of the Columbus oath. It is not just the Hippocratic Oath, but the promise to work "with their brothers" and to never betray them.
Although I chose not to advocate, I admire your efforts. I feel as though the patient advocates have bent over backward providing revenue for the Parkinson's foundations, only to receive a plaque and little credit for their efforts. Many drag their entire family into the process, and get credit on paper but little credit for their input. Many have lost their partners, who were trying to make a living and still have the American Dreams, and were tired of carrying the anchor their PD spouse had become around their neck .
I have a suggestion for a new Parkinson's emblem. The PD tulip surrounded by the words, "Don't tiptoe through the tulips!"
Miss. Vicky
