"During ER visits or hospitalizations, patients with PD come into contact with physicians and allied health professionals with little expertise in PD, which may lead to significant challenges throughout the inpatient stay. It is therefore important to recognize and address disease-specific challenges that may impact optimal inpatient hospital care for patients with PD."

I recently had elective surgery. Not on meds at that time. I came out of a long GA in a confusional state resulting in commotion in the recovery room as I tried to get off my trolley! I knew the risk and had discussed it before with the anesthetist but they were still caught out and I had some minor complications. More of a concern my PD symptoms progressed noticeably. But I needed the surgery to have any hope of getting fit so no regrets and so far so good :-).
