Rounds with Jim

About the Book

I witnessed my church pastor suffer and die from Parkinson’s disease in 1964. I set my career plans at that point to become a physician and to practice neurology. Many years later, my friend and collegue developed Parkinson’s disease. I treated Jim professionally for ten years, and then continually – after retirement – as a friend and advocate.
