The new law gives doctors discretion to diagnose and treat according to their best ...clinical judgment. This is an exciting day for Massachusetts patient advocates and an encouraging prec...edent for activists in other states. Rhode Island, Connecticut, and California have similar laws. To read the text of the bill, go to http://www.mass.gov/legis/11budget/senate/outsides.htmand scroll down to Lyme Disease.
