yes, Vicky.....seems like doctors' hands are tied from several directions. Everyone needs an attitude adjustment and the businesses need a few ethics courses. Industry and insurance companies put such a squeeze on the doctors.

But I do think their situations will improve only as much as they acknowledge that there are patients who are willing to help solve the illnesss. Hard working medical people who "get it" need us too. The number is increasing pretty quickly now.

Sen. Kennedy is familiar with the GDNF case and actually tried to get a similar bill to the Enzi Kennedy bill through Congress before, but his timing wasn't right. He filed 9/10/01.

That story was told to us while interviewing GDNF trial participants attorney, Mr. Milstein. Wanted you to know it was a reliable source.

Vicky, large institutions are impossible. We learned that in college, which was created to frustrate you in preparation for things like this. Never mind about logic.
