In this episode of the Primary Care Knowledge Boost (PCKB) podcast, doctors Lisa and Sara are back with consultant neurologist, Dr Antonella Macerollo to discuss Parkinson’s disease. This is the second podcast with Dr Macerollo. The first episode focuses on essential tremor (ET).
The podcast covers what a typical case looks like. They also discuss what Parkinson’s is including the differentials, the need for time to discern between other conditions and the options for treatment.
