He was also a Lay Magistrate in Belfast Youth Court and in Belfast Family Proceedings Court for 34 years. He was President of the International Association of Youth and Family Judges and Magistrates. He travelled the world on behalf of the United Nations Development Prpgramme, UNICEF and the Council of Europe training judges in the use of international instruments concerning the rights of the child. Considering all he accomplished, it is hard to believe that his life’s path was strewn with traumatic events from early childhood through adulthood. This book focuses on one event, his battle with Parkinson’s, and illustrates his resilience in the face of adversity.
Dr McCarney is a Doctor of Psychology, not a Doctor of Medicine.
Parkinson’s Hasn’t Got Me Yet’ is a fascinating and well researched manuscript about Parkinson’s Disease. It covers what the disease is, who it affects, the symptoms and the treatment through medication and exercise. The manuscript is based on the author’s diary. Starting four years before diagnosis the author records, with well-balanced sensitivity and striking honesty, how the symptoms affect him. He made no secret of the fact that he had Parkinson’s. The inclusion of the record of his walking achievements fundraising for Parkinson’s support his argument that Parkinson’s did not have him. The author also included hospital/doctor appointments. The names of consultants and medical staff treating the author and others offering various levels of support are not included, in the interests of anonymity.vizualizați mai puține
