I have not always agreed with her on the specifics of the lyme situation, but she has a right to make her case, and what happened to her is absolutely chilling.
Hope someone will help her sue the heck out of Dr. Ranger, etc.
At the risk of sounding conspiratorial myself, it does not seem to me that arrogance and viciousness of one or two psychiatrists can explain what happened, that her involvement in the Wessley protest probably targeted her in this way. The state has a lot riding on the psychiatric explanations being assigned to ME/CFS and gulf war illnesses. And Wessley is their paid scientific stooge.

Feels like the old Soviet Union where political "undesirables" are institutionalized and forced medicated into silence.
There is hope though, for the US and the UK. The internet has provided the means for instant communication among millions. Some of the blogs have millions of viewers daily. For instance, the Daily Kos has about 4 million viewers p-day ! Compare this to Larry King [700,000 viewers], Keith Olbermann [1 million] and Bill O'Reilly [1.5 million].
Much of the tyranny that has gripped the upper echelons of our government is being thwarted by blooggers. Public opinion has turned against the war, Bush/Cheney, corruption, appeasement of big business, etc. because of bloggers exposing their misdeeds. The mainstream press will never do it.
Much of the police-state practices are under heavy fire as people have learned it has nothing to do with thwarting terrorism but instead was an excuse to snoop around in everyone's personal affairs. Lawsuits are flying, the courts are overturning authoritarian law, and millions of Americans are ready to throw the bums out.
It's Democracy in action and lymies need to get on the bandwagon. People are fed up with the corruption of legislating solely for the benefit of corporations and the extremely wealthy. Keep on pushing on.
