well IF

- 25% OF PD dx are incorrect,
- and dopamine meds are sometimes used as a diagnosis tool to see if the patient responds favourably,
- whilst DAs and their like are now used for RLS and the like indiscriminately (ignoring the known side effects)

and AGAIN IF the use of Dopamaine and DAs eventually desensitise the receptors they work on

then we seem to be exponentially growing the PWP population through a mixture of greed and medical ignorance ?
