Will a parkinson's patient be able to give blood?
That would depend on what stage the disease has reached. If it is not far along, yes, there would be no reason why the patient could not give blood. However, if the disease has progressed to the point that the patient is shaking violently, it would not be possible for him to donate blood. This has to be the most ignorant answer ever. Depending on medications and general health it would be fine. The amount of shake has zero to do with a blood donation.
