Reddit mentions: The best books about parkinsons disease

The first Kingman treaded the line between parody and action, sometimes recklessly, but never quite crossed it. Golden Circle pretty much just leaps across without looking back.

On the other hand, I never before realized how much I wanted to watch Elton John repeatedly slam a henchman's head in a grand piano while wearing a peacock costume. Or hear Mark Strong belt out "Country Roads".

One other interesting detail that I haven't seen discussed anywhere yet: the drug-users-held-ransom plot shares some interesting similarities with a real-life medical incident called "The Case of the Frozen Addicts", where consumers of synthetic heroin were reduced to a state of paralysis. If I recall, the most effective treatment is grafted stem cells... which was promptly outlawed by the U.S. government.

Currently working my way through it. I think it's alright, but then again I seem to be the only one here who actually likes Stu, so...I don't know if you should trust my opinion :D

ETA: Hoping to get my hands on Brent's book next; I've heard really good things about that one.

Not easy to deal with, hopefully he had all legal papers in order (will, living will, advanced directives).

All my best to you and your Dad.

Current medical research is peppered with current cases of EL. Some of them are even very current.

Here is a good read but it is very clinical:
