Hi folks, The following post is from Dr. Jones. I hope that we can again show up in significant numbers to support Dr. Jones. I know that he derives a strong sense of support from our quiet presence. Ellen

Dear Valued Friends and Patients;
I have just heard from Attorney Pollack that the next scheduled date for the continuation of my hearings is Thursday, September, 28, 2006 at 10:00a.m. in the Legislative Office Building, Hartford, CT, Room 1E. As all of you know, this has been a rather tedious and difficult fight for the long term antibiotic treatment of Lyme disease and coinfections in children. However, this hearing is particularly important. The mother and the two children for which this hearing is all about will be testifying in regards to the outcome of my Lyme Disease treatment for them. The mother is very sympathetic to my situation and wants to help me in any way to ensure success and continued medical practice. But again, I need your support as well. If you are able to attend my 5th hearing on September 28, 2006 for 2 or 3 hours, I would greatly appreciate your presence. The children in question are happy, well and will demonstrate that my work is worthy and correct.
Please help me to continue fighting this very important pediatric medical issue. Thousands of children will benefit from a positive outcome of my hearings, and other physicians will be able to continue practicing without fear that they too may find themselves against a medical board for less than appropriate charges.
Thank you for your continued support, and your presence at this particular hearing would be most appreciated.
Sincerely,
Charles Ray Jones, MD

Hiya, Below is some information about hotel and driving directions - most of which is plagiarized from Tincup's research from an earlier hearing.
Please try to come. At the last hearing the medical board ruled that patients who were not involved in the case for which Dr. Jones has been charged could not testify about how Dr. Jones has helped them.
(I understand that this is the usual ruling in medical board hearings, so I can almost keep from getting irate about it).
So I hope that you will all show up at the hearing to bear silent witness to the love and gratitude that thousands of patients have for Dr. Jones.
An overflow crowd traveling in just to sit respectfully listening to testimonty will get our supportive message across.
This hearing should be easier to attend, since it doesn't start until 10am and will last only about 3 hours. There will be testimony from the mother and children in whose case Dr. Jones was charged. They are very supportive of Dr. Jones and did NOT make the charges.
HERE IS THE TRAVEL INFORMATION FROM TINCUP THAT I PROMISED::
The hearing will start at 10am in the Legislative Office Building at 300 Capitol Avenue, Hartford at 10a.m.
Greyhound and Peter Pan busses and Amtrak trains stop within a very short cab ride from the Legislative Office Building (or walking distance for those who can).
If you want to arrive the day before, you might want to stay at the Days Inn in East Hartford.
HOTEL: Days Inn- East Hartford, CT 1-860-289-4950. 333 Roberts Street East Hartford, CT 06108
If you make a reservation at the hotel, please let them know you belong to the Lyme group. Last time the rate was $64 for a double room, but you need to ask for that rate to get it.
Cab ride from train station or bus station to the Days Inn in East Hartford, CT (approx 3 miles) is approximately $14.00, plus tip. Cost can be shared if others are riding along.
FOOD: Nick's Pizza... 527-1111 open late and they deliver. Good deal if you are tired and don't want to go out. Big menu selection. Menu was at front desk at the East Hartford Days Inn.
Margarita's Mexican Restaurant- across the street from the EAST Hartford Days Inn 860-289-7212
CAB: Cab ride.. Dial a Ride Taxi- 860-796-8105..
I hope to see you there. Ellen

And if you live anywhere near CT.. please please come to the hearing!!! Dr. J needs you there.
If it is impossible for you personally to come ... PLEASE send someone.... like a friend or relative to represent you.
REMEMBER- You don't have to HAVE Lyme to be there.
Thanks!
