Can You Help Me?: Living in the Turbulent World of Huntington Disease shares the surprising, insightful, challenging, and even encouraging stories of patients and their families who live with Huntington Disease. Having practiced for more than 40 years, Dr. Thomas Bird, a pioneer neurogeneticist, adds a human touch to this genetic brain disease that can be devastating to patients during mid-life when they can least afford it.
Dr. Bird sat down with Robin Lindley, a Seattle-based writer and attorney, and the features editor of the History News Network (hnn.us), to respond to questions about his career and the history and human stories of Huntington disease.
