The miracle of levodopa

every time i think of how simply flooding my system with levodopa somehow makes up for the individual deaths of hundreds of thousands of neurons and lets me move and continue to hold a job, i am in awe. yes parkinson’s disease really sucks, but it is a miracle that we have levodopa. thank you, oleh hornykiewicz! i think oleh was cheated when they gave carlsson the nobel prize instead of him.
