Quite a busy and exciting day yesterday. Channel 21 in Harrisburg called and asked to interview me about lyme disease. It was on the 5:30 news last night. Here's the clip and try not to laugh too hard when you see my dog knock me on my tush ....... seriously that could have been cut.
Then on WITF public t.v. (out of Hbg) last night I did the program Smart Talk at 8:30- 9 p.m. with a well known lyme literate doctor. It will re-air on Sunday at noon. Probably our part is at 12:30, which is the 2nd half of the show. You can only see this show if you are in the 18 county area of PA that WITF serves. Here's the link [URL= http://www.witf.org/tv/smart_talk.php]/URL]
The producer told us on average they have 40-50,000 viewing this program, so I hope those numbers tuned in !!!
We also probably diagnosed a member of the production crew!!

Great job Gail!!!
I liked the vet being interviewed too saying he sees a case a week.

Hey there,
Nice to SEE you!! Way to GO!!!!
Very nice production!!! Very educational too!!
You actually look almost "normal" in the video... but then again.. I KNOW you! HA!
OK.. just kidding.
It was very realistic and you done good!!!! I wouldn't have noticed the doggie dumped you over unless you said it. It just looked like you were playing.. which was nice.
And they told about the support group meetings too! VERY good.
I guess you've done your part for Lyme Disease Awareness Month! And a bit early at that!!!
By the way... now that you are a movie star.. can I have your autograph?

Gail, I hope they will do some follow-up programs and I also hope that some of the legislators were watching. Wonder if someone could figure out how to mass mail the links to them? lmt
