Parkinson's disease
Hi B.L. Davids, thanks for your fantastic work on Parkinson's disease. That page obviously needed some work, and given that you seem to have an interest in it you seem to be just the person!

Please have a look at "footnotes". At the moment, lots of important studies are linked with a link to the PubMed abstract. I would suggest you convert them into academic citations, either by Harvard referencing (Author + year) or with footnotes. If you look at multiple sclerosis you can see a fine example of this.

Drop me a note on my talkpage if there's anything you may need help with. JFW | T@lk  21:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Specialization
MRCP is actually a three-tier exam. The third and scariest bit involves examining patients (who are not allowed to respond to questions) and making a differential diagnosis based on findings. When I pass that bit, I do plan to specialise. Neurology in the UK is a bit too competitive (and IMHO still therapeutically nihilistic compared to other fields). My interest is more in "blood & guts" (haematology or gastroenterology). We will see, I suppose. JFW | T@lk  20:05, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

MCOTW
Hi Barb, I just noticed the arrival of User:AFGriffithMD (talk • contribs), a movement disorder specialist. If he plans to stay, we may be able to try pull the Parkinson's article into featured status. What we will need is perhaps a run through WP:MCOTW, where all us medics can grind our teeth on it.

Do you have access to any videos of PD symptoms? In the past, departed user User:Ksheka (talk • contribs) uploaded some echocardiograms, so I believe it is feasible to upload video material to illustrate the article.

Let me know what you think. JFW | T@lk  23:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Saw your comment on my talkpage. I'm not sure which comment on Talk:Parkinson's disease you'd like me to respond to. Unfortunately I'm going to be off-wiki for a little while. Please discuss with User:AFGriffithMD (talk • contribs) in what way the page can be improved. The doctors' message page can always be invoked to discuss problems. Good luck.
