Wellness Wednesdays: Palliative Care Series
Parkinson's is more than a movement disease that has motor and non-motor symptoms. This video provides an overview of non-motor symptoms that can be related to Parkinson's and how to communicate these symptoms to your medical team to improve your medical care. It also discusses ways to improve care coordination and communication across your team of medical providers.

I also do not say that to register for your meeting on the 19th about bladder issues

I am so sad to say, I have not seen a doctor that's willing to put their unpaid time to watch or read or connect just because the patient asks. It is so so sad to see that our health system has changed so much. There is so little doctors that are in that business just because of the true definition of healer and helper.
Darn even there customer service or phone people at the front desk have no issues dropping the call perfectly not to put an effort of trying to find an direction or a person who could help you with your concern When calling. 😔
