stupendous,u deserve more

Comprehensively answered. Thanks so much!

We're interested in getting this information for the rest of the
world. Are you interested in helping? What is a fair way of doing this
(i.e. price/divisions?)?  I was thinking of breaking it up into
continents/regions.

cool

Flattery will get you everywhere, umiat. This is a great and very well
researched answer. Some things have a very  familiar ring. I'm more
crative than intellectual. My father can't get through a regular book.
(Except for medicine, but he's a surgeon.) My mother's mind is all
over the place, but I have the most dificulty in a highly intelligent
and accomplished family.(Oh, my brother is normal for some strange
reason.)
I break reading and projects down into very small bits and increments,
and I think that I've taught myslef to compensate somehwhat over the
years. But, now that I want to bight off more in life, I'm going to
consider Strattera. In fact, life experience, reading and general
observation has taught me that my mind is not working up to snuff when
I know that my IQ is good.
There's lots of information to go over in your repsonse and it will
take a while. Your are a great Google researcher and I'm really
pleased with the answer that you've provided
Thanks a 100%, not 75%,

Thanks Umiat for this comprehensive answer.  I'm really pleased with it!

Didn't succunctly answer the question as to life span, but instead
included a bunch of references, which spoke mostly on other points.

I really appreciate the research done. I was a little hesitant to
pledge $100 for this but now I have enough to present to my primary
care doc to see if she will write a letter on my behalf so I can
prevail on my appeal with the VA. At least now I have some ammo. I do
appreciate your help on this issue since the outcome will be with me
for the rest of my life and I wanted to make this my best shot with
medical evidence from numerous sources. Thank you so much. Since the
appeal process is a long time consuming process I would like to let
you know the result of how your research has helped me.How can I do
that?

Complete and thorough answer. I hope this will provide the necessary
information to make a difference.

An extremely helpful answer, giving me a number of additional areas to explore.

Very good work. Many thanks. Hope to hear from you again.

I've barely begun reading the response, but it looks very helpful!
Umiat knows his stuff.  I will need to wade thru it all and get back
to him for more follow-up (for more pay, of course).

Hey umiat,

Thank you for your thorough, levelheaded answer.  Believe it or not, I
know of UCLA Medical Center’s Geriatric program and the US News and
World Report article from my own research.  UCLA came up in a search
for interdisciplinary programs after I snagged an article on the
progress and efficacy of such programs as I looked for “what’s new” in
elder care.  This was a year ago while searching for her current
doctor.

So, you’re thinking, what happened?  Why didn’t we end up at UCLA?  A
number of influences pushed us in a different direction; with emotions
and perceived comfort dominating over practical realities.   As an
early baby boomer, I’m probably the last generation to experience
physicians as they were, oh say, pre-HMO’s, for lack of a better
label.  I’ve long since made the transition to the high-tech
HMO-dogged doc of today; but I remember what it was like.  Mom, on the
other hand, may have made the effort to transition (although I doubt
successfully), but because of Alzheimer’s she has no memory of it—her
recollection of the doctor experience lives in the 1940s and 50s.   As
such, today’s healthcare realities are pretty jarring to her;
especially since she is also missing memory of the medical progress
that softens some of the bumps in today’s healthcare road.  So a year
ago, when doctor decision time came, she warmed to the standalone doc
vs. the institution.  While I legally have the final say, we both do a
lot better when I engage her in the process and I was somewhat
ambivalent at the time.   And that’s how we ended up there and doing
that.

You are, however, right—-we are fortunate to have one of the very best
facilities in our own backyard!  And this time around she’s facing
more ills, not feeling as well and did enough suffering under the
current doc to go with my recommendation.

My decision to let her go with the individual practitioner over the
noted institution might appear to some as a mistake and it might have
been.  However, in the time warp of Alzheimer’s disease, we don’t
operate that way—something I sense you may understand.  For the
benefit of your readers, I will briefly explain (sorry can’t help
myself).  With this disease, any landing is a good landing.  There’s
simply not enough time or energy to assign blame or feel guilt for
missteps in dementia care—the monster disease all too quickly consumes
it and uses it to drag you down.  There’s only doing your best,
staying healthy, remembering the person in care is first your
loved-one and second someone with an illness, and finally never become
so busy with life that you miss the occasional often simple golden
moments when things stabilize enough to connect and enjoy the one that
this is all about.

All this is a roundabout way of telling you that your comments and
research are right on target.  And although I do not know you
personally, your work provides insight into your humanity and
professionalism.  Not just research; your answer included perspective
personalized to my need.  I respect and appreciate that.  As an
x-freelancer, I know there is a certain degree of risk in giving
personal perspective with your work.  On the face of it, your answer
to my question was not what I expected but was clearly what I needed.

Thanks again.  You get an A+.

Sincerely...frankwriter

All questions asked were answered comprehensively and thoughtfully.  Many thanks!

thank you very much - it is a difficult subject to pin down,
especially teh efron material, although I have been doing a lot of
work on Tsvetayeva, he was a peripheral figure in the reading -
although  not in her life, obviously.this was enormously helpful, and
the links were even more rewarding - they have helped the story move
forward tremendously

Exactly what I wanted. Some of these I knew about but most I'd not
found in my own searches. There were just too many hits whenever I did
it and I didn't have the time to narrow it down.

I think this was as good as I could have aske dfor - the rest was up
to me to think about

thanks your data again!

My rating is based on the extensive search provided by Umiat and
Siggy-ga. Obviously, much effort and time was spend to answer my
question. I appreciate Umiat approaching my question not only as a
researcher but also as a mother, like myself. I felt she understood
not only my question, but also my worries. She has shown more
commitment to answering my question than all the medical doctors I
have paid. I believe she went the extra mile to provide as much
information as she could. Thanks so much! Lindaibm

umiat
search a statistics part it is hard for me,thanks your data and help.
