This short article nicely sums up the emotional reality of lyme... the confusion, the frustration, the fury at a divided medical community. The mistrust of both.
I believe that most main stream doctors would aggressively treat their own sick child even if they feel they can't treat they're patients.
I thought it might be a good article to share with good friends and family to help then understand. (of course this lucky woman had a bullseye and found real treatment within a year. unlike many of us)
My family Dr's sister was a dentist with a practice until she fell sick w lyme. My Dr treats her sister now (who lost her practice & bedbound) with IV antibiotics. Said she could never treat her patients like that because she'd lose her job.
She works for University Hospitals here in Cle.
I can respect her for her honesty. The word comes from the top(CDC/IDSA) not the hospitals or Dr's
