Life in the Balance: A Physician's Memoir of Life, Love, and Loss with Parkinson's Disease and Dementia

Read this if someone you love has Parkinson's or Lewy Body disease

My mother-in-law gave this to me to read. My father-in-law has both Parkinson's and Lewy Body, same as Tom Graboys, and this book could have been written about his everyday life. I was able to see the pain, the joys, the coping, the frustrations. Tom's feelings of losing his personality touched me especially as I have seen my father-in-law change.

Excellent advice and insight

A huge thank you to Dr. Grayboys and his family for saying it and saying it so well. May God bless you.

All Doctors Should HAVE to read this book!

If only all of our Doctors could be as kind, compassionate, considerate, and empathetic with their patients as Dr. Thomas Graboys is we would have a much better heatlh care system. Even faced with a terrible disease like Parkinson's and the death of his spouse he continues to teach and inspire and to take care of all those around him by writing a book that has helped so many understand what it's like to be faced with a devastating illness.

This book is hard to put down once you beign reading it, it took just a day and half for me to finish it. For anyone touched by Parkinson's it is a valuable insight into what it is like to deal with the disease. But it also gives a real example of what every doctor should strive to be and to do for their patients.

I highly recommend this book to everyone!
