OH NO! He was one of my LLMDs. He was so kind and patient. I think he had Lyme disease as well. I am so sad to hear this.

RIP Dr. Burke.

OH my - my husband went to him for a short time. Does anyone know what happened? I know he had lyme himself but wonder if it was related?

So sorry to hear this.

Pocono,

Thanks so much for the detailed information. So young. So sad.

That FH link seems to have a kink. This one goes through:

He just got married maybe 6 months ago. Very sad indeed. I wonder what it was and what will happen to his patients.

I've never heard of him but that is horrible.

When Lyme victims die young I always wonder why.

That's a big loss. Most LLMDs are very brave and outstanding human beings to do what they do.

RIP

This is so, so sad. A tragic loss.

My thoughts are with his family, his friends, and with everyone so deeply affected by his loss.

Our entire community will miss him.

Last week, my LLMD told me Dr. Burke died of a heart attack, related to lyme of course.
