In episode 6, both Prof’s address the different experiences that they have encountered with their patients during their many years as PD specialists.
They discuss ways in which Dr’s communicate with patients on how medication problems may lead to fluctuating responses, what mechanisms can lead to changes in symptom severity and what their take is on the value of aids for communication i.e., wearing off questionnaires, home diaries and other techniques.
