More About mamaw
What I needed to say is that I was seeing Doctor NGUYEN a Neurologist, but I quit seeing
him and started seeing Doctor Irene Scaltsas a Neurologist. The reason for the change
is when I would go to see him, he would rush me in and out and never got to ask any
question, and when I would ask him what I had to look forward to all he would say is
there was nothing to worry about for the next 20 or 30 years. That was alright but I still
needed to know what the disease would do in the short term like 5 or 10 years. He
would send me out from a lady that was on health team what it does. I think that each
person with Parkinson's Disease progresses at their own rate that everyone is not the
same some go faster than others. I don't think you can judge one person by another.
