      Not really. The average person with the disease doesn't have the money to afford treatments and constant medical attention. The western world's healthcare services are only going to get more worse and unaffordable as more immigrants both legal and illegal put financial and physical strain on the system. Shortage of doctors and under qualified people receiving doctorates will also lead to increased competency crisis. More malpractice and misdiagnosis. He is far better off than the average.

    In fairness you have to applaud this man.
    A lot of people do not understand a life altering disease. In fact most people are very cold about it. Lots of people say aww god love him/her but have no clue what it's like to get up everyday and live with a disabling disease. Learning to live with something such as parkinsons disease is a real hard struggle. There's so many in the world that live with diseases like this and honestly unless you see that person everyday and what they go through mentally and physically is probably the hardest thing to watch. Especially when there is nothing you can do. I have a brain disease waiting to be fully diagnosed. I was told it was fibromyalgia but not all the symptoms I have are fibromyalgia related so I am waiting for a brain specialist. It's tough to live with definitely very tough. Trying to be strong in front of your kids is very hard. I hope they can start some kind of treatment on me soon because it can drive you crazy. You can't do the things you were used to doing anymore and some people just don't get it 🤷‍♂️ if drinking makes you feel alright Mr.Fox then drink on 🥂

With everything you have done for everyone to understand about Parkinson's makes you a Bigger star than what you could ever do in Hollywood. Our very best friend has Parkinson's as well. It's not fun for him, but he is still working. Not long after your diagnosis He was diagnosed as well.
