Mashup Score: 21Delivering the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease- setting the stage with hope and compassion - 5 day(s) ago

However [2], in the current medical landscape, access to an MDS is not always possible and the initial suspected diagnosis may be made by other health professionals such as the primary care physician or community neurologist.
