From a powerpoint slide regarding notifiable diseases:

"You are not in general required, at this
stage, to memorize all these. But it is
a poor and dangerous physician who did not acquire knowledge of the more prominent and obvious ones, and could get a question such as whether e.g. HIV, or Lyme Disease, is notifiable. "

I guess 90% of doctors didn't memorize the fact that Lyme is notifiable, then, haha (since only 10% of cases get reported).

I'm glad to hear they mentioned it as such.

In my state, the state tries to get doctors to change their minds. The health board has actually called doctors, asking them to reconsider and withdraw the report. More than once.

Glad to see at least one medical college teaching a bit about lyme. That would never happen at the medical college in my state.
