Parkinsn Current Topics

Glossary of Medical Terms

Last night I heard uncontrollable laughter wafting out from the bedroom. Curiosity, still active in spite of my PD, won out. I found my wife, who frequently says she is practising medicine without a license as my caretaker, in tears of laughter insisting that she read me "The Layman's Glossary of Medical Terms." It got a smile on my face, which has been hard to do recently. I wonder how you will react?
