One of Dr. C's patients has asked this email to be forwarded. Please keep him in your prayers. (NOTE: This is not me that saw him -- I'm just forwarding the information.)
I saw Dr. C last week and he shared with me that he was turned in to the state licensing board by another physician, due to a patient he was treating with IV antibiotics who developed a serious complication/side effect. He will need to appear on Friday July 13th at 12:30 pm, to respond to the complaint.
He was told he could bring other physicians along, to address the validity of his practices. He said Dr. Masters will likely be too ill to attend, but he has another colleague in KC he may invite. He plans to consult with a lawyer, but I don't think he can bring one along.
He brought this up as a prayer request, after praying wtih me. As a committed Christian, he believes in the power of prayer and God's presence. I asked if it would be OK for me to spread the word, and he said fine. I also asked if he needed patients to attend, but it will be a closed session (so no need for our physical presence).
So, PLEASE KEEP DR. C IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS, especially on July 13th.

Could you get this back to him????? I don't know if you have seen all the publicity about that little girl Ellen Cary the 7 year old who died of Ehrlichiosis. Maybe now would be a great time to get Dr. Crist quoted in papers as a "Lyme and Ehrlichiosis expert" because he IS- he needs to exploit his knowledge of Ehrlichiosis because he has treated it for years and knows SO much about it and that will make him VERY SYMPATHETIC to the midwest public right now!!!! Instead of "Lyme doc up on charges" make SURE- please- I really thinkk this is a good idea- if he gets any press have him make sure he is described- ACCURATELY because he IS- as a "Lyme and Ehrlichiosis" doctor and that will lead hopefully to tie ins with Ellen Cary and what a serious disease it is and how Dr. Crist is THE ONLY GOSHDARNED EHRLICHIOSIS EXPERT IN SEVERAL STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Ehrlichiosis Expert up on charges" would be just as accurate as Lyme doc but would completely change the way it goes in the press!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!
