Your help needed please!
Is Dr. Burrascano who gave up his lyme practice recently doing any teaching of MDs to make them become LYME LITERATE?
If yes, please send me a PM, private message, with his address and phone no!
I'm pursuing with our local hospital/clinic to get him to come in to teach our clinic who has bought out most of Central Iowa drs. offices and would cover a huge part of Iowa, and to educate us LYME patients in Iowa!
What is he doing in his advoacy?
Thank you for any/all help you can give me as I once again pursue this but a double sword: lyme and DIABETES patients so they can assist us with BOTH MAJOR LIFE-THREATENING ILLNESSES! Bettyg

I think you should contact him and ask. It certainly sounds like pursuing to see if he is interested. Might see to what extent his expenses would be paid and if there would be any instructor payment. If this is a business, they might be used to paying their instructors. Donating time for this kind of thing is very nice, but our docs should be treated like the experts they are and they are worth the going rate.
Suggest that you wait until your contacts have indicated definite interest so it doesn't waste his time on maybe things. If your people are definitely interested and will pay, then they are going to be more receptive to his message. Don't think we would want to see a situation where the audience was hostile. Better to avoid such things.
One of the things that has disappointed our docs when they give individual lectures around the country or participate in conferences is that outside medical professionals are few and far between; the patients always turn out in droves. I think our docs would really like to see the lyme info get to more medical professionals.

Any doc who wants to become LLMD may receive a grant that will cover the cost of his/her training, necessary travel and hotel stay. Just ask at ILADS what is available at this time.

Lou and Arneli, Thank you both for your comments on my Dr. B question if he teaches MDs to be lyme literate, etc. If anything comes out of this, I'll give a later update; who knows? BG

Dr. B turned over his practice to Dr. M in NYC - taught, and is teaching, him all that he knows.

I'd like to learn more about this, if possible. Dr. M is my doc. Since when did he agree to become the next Dr. B?

Dr. M is only ONE of many doctors that Dr. B has taught/trained, but I think he happened to be the latest/last before Dr. B's practice was closed.
Dr. B did NOT 'turn over' his practice to Dr. M or anyone else for that matter.
