Carilion Clinic owns the Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital and then there were 12 docs I named in the suit.
There is only one lawsuit - they just listed it 3 different ways - they all have the same case number.

The way I understand the law the hospital has 30 days to respond to the case.
So that means I need to locate my expert witnesses and find a lawyer within the 30 days if possible. I can take longer, but it would go much smoother if I can get everything lined up.
Physicians I need - infectious disease and pulmonology and internal medicine
I have some names but could use more. If anyone knows of a lyme literate doc in those specialties that might be a potential witness please send an email to the address below.

Congrats!!
Did you try Dr D in MA for the inf disease?
Posted by Amanda (Member # 14107) on :
Do these doctors have to have a medical liscence to practice in VA specifically?
Also, can these doctors practice medicine on patients at academic/research facilities, or do they have to be out there on the front lines, so to speak
Posted by seibertneurolyme (Member # 6416) on :
Amanda - No do not have to have VA license - just a medical license in the specialty. But the best experts would be ones with hospital privileges which makes it much more difficult to find lyme literate or even lyme friendly docs.
Actually University docs are often the best expert witnesses because many of them seem to make a sideline of doing that.

Do you have a case summary anywhere?

Well done Bea...well done.

imagine2 - Hubby's former LLMD thought that doc might be too controversial due to past legal problems. Still one my list - but the lawyer I end up with will have to make the final call.
SickSci - Working on that angle. Need that expert but also need infectious disease and internal medicine.
Just got back from the ILADS conference - talked to several researchers, labs and doctors. Lots to follow up on. Not going to name any names. Will update when I have any solid leads.
The best news is that I may have a lawyer. Should know in the next week or so.
