Man withstands Parkinsons on bus adapts to life
Dorros 56, a National Education Association employee in Washington, recalls a bus ride where Parkinsons froze him in place and how modern medicine and a supportive family helped him cope. His 12 year experience as an experimental patient with L Dopa and bromocriptine is chronicled in Parkinsons A Patients View. His book reflects his gradual acceptance, ongoing treatment regimen, and impact on his children and marriage. He retired from full time work in 1973 and continues to stay active with family.
