Parkinson's testimony
From a New York Times review of one of those "now I'm a patient" books - one that sounds very interesting:
This is the kind of book inevitably given to medical students to inculcate them in the humanistic dimensions of medicine. I wouldn't waste it on them. Save it for older doctors, still at the top of their game, gleaming and self-confident. Each of them could use this textbook of the graceful and courageous exit.
Arthur Evans, one of my most impressive professors at Emory, was debilitated by Parkinson's. It was a terrible process to see even from a distance.
