Little by little.

Anything in addition to the target goes towards an educational campaign for patients, families and interested health professionals. Today I met with a Parkinson’s sufferer who has lost faith in doctores, who don’t give patients enough time to educate them properly, explain repercussions of drugs (like laxatives) nor the importance of nutrition, exercise, exercises for the voice, self care and the prevalence of depression and how to confront the disease. Looking back maybe I got more time, being the gringa because I was firing question after question despite noticing the doctores desire to say “next” written all over his/her face. But even then the responses were simple ” yes physiotherapy could help”. I am working one on one to educate but more is needed. I know I have been an encouragement but thinking of a team of people educated in Parkinson’s to deal with this nasty disease properly. People able to model love and kindness and willing to go to the regional centres too.
