I want to know if anyone has expereince at the J--- Specialty Clinic in WashDC?

What's the big deal about not posting names of MDs? Trying to keep them from losing thier licenses?

There are MDs who speak and openly submit credits for attending the ILADS conference-

so I would think any Dr invested enough in treating lyme would know how to self-protect.

Mine has me sign a waiver that the treatment is beyond the 2 week oral abx protocol of the CDC and that I consent to the treatment.

I practiced medicine for 15 yrs and I think its silly not to post names-

when I do a search I have to bother people who may have answered a past post privately, with my own private posts, and they may or may not be addressing my question.

So please excuse me if I post my LLMD by name.

He talked with me over the phone initially about treatments he uses, and I could have been ANYONE.

He's good, he's a big boy, and is in no fear of losing his license over this...

That said, looking for experience with J

Here is an explanation of the rule about doctor's names and too much information about protocols. http://flash.lymenet.org/scripts/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/1/108368?

It is a rule you agreed to follow when you agreed to these terms of use when you joined Lymenet - http://www.lymenet.org/terms.shtml.

Please refrain from using doctor's names on the board. It doesn't matter that you agree with the reasons for the rule, you agreed to follow them when you joined. Refusing to follow the rules is grounds for banning a member.

I am answering this publicly since you posted this publicly. These are normally comments I would send in a PM.
