Those words are replicated on about every article I read concerning Parkinson’s and the doctor who diagnosed me was a disaster on his delivery of the diagnoses. He was clueless about the impact his words had. It may have been just a routine everyday conversation to him but it put me in a dark place for a long time. That dark place still calls me…
