I don't have TV anymore. I just use the internet and Netflix. Is there any way to watch it online?

Katie asked if you have lyme disease or know someone with lyme disease on her FB page.

Rivendell: it's on TV like you said. I was just saying people who don't get the Katie show in their town could catch clips on youtube, probably not the whole show though.

I am at work! I would love to see it too. I wish someone could tape it and then put it on here for everyone to watch!

lax, I agree. I've got my box of tissues ready. I hope Dr H can make his points in time allowed.

I saw it. Halperin is enough to make one sick but they have to air both sides of the story. Dr. H. presented his case well and there were two of his patients talking about their illness. Katie Couric did a good job asking the right questions.
The fact that this is being aired to the general public is a big win for the lyme community and the public.

I wish Katie had asked the woman on stage how she felt about what Dr Halperin said!!
She asked DR H.. which was very important. But I wish she'd had time to ask the patient as well!

That was it??? There was not a lot of air time devoted to it. Personally I wasn't impressed.

True, but it was a short segment. Most importantly it will be viewed by a large audience and maybe she'll touch on it again.
Good on Katie Couric. Remember how hard we tried to get Oprah to do a show on Lyme Disease and how she dissed us.

I'm thankful that Dr H (LLMD) got the last word.
I think he did a good job in the short time he had to speak.

Couldn't agree with you more, needs to be a longer discussion in order to make somewhat of a dent!

Lymetoo I understand that part. There's no video footage of the debate on the website.
I just made another thread hinting to the fact that they were going to show more about the discussion on the show and you close my thread?
Don't you think that's kind of peculiar?

Maybe they did show everything, but I specifically remember the words "coming up" on the show!!!! And nothing more aired about Lyme and before you know Harry Potter was waving his wand around and Couric was hauking products at us...
Anyways don't want to get in heated match, just that thought there's more to this...

Dr. R.H. did a good job, but I think Dateline or 60 Minutes should do an intensive documentary.

Yeah Dr. H did do a great job, maybe all this can lead up to a nice documentary on 60 minutes or Dateline. Would be nice!!!

I was so disappointed in Katie with her hand on her jaw (indication of disbelief) the whole time she listened to the first patient.
RH is another clueless clone. Like Doc H said, there are many scientific studies that pretty much prove current standards are antiquated and flat out wrong. Unfortunately, closed minds can't or won't see it.

IMO there was so much misinformation in the beginning that it overpowered anything else that followed. Dr H was good considering what he had to follow......he had so little time to state his case compared to the beginning of the segment.
I agree, something in depth is what is called for. I have to wonder if this piece realy accomplished anything as far as education.

agree!
And how about the fact that every time the chronic side is brought up on TV they're still debating on whether or not it's real!
Aren't we past that point, it's 2013!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Couric did try to explain it's real, but I really think she shouldn't even be going down that road. Just like the directors didn't go down the road in "Under Our Skin" doc about lyme patients having mental issues with the disease. Because when the "exist topic" topic are brought up, people always think there is a possibility of it being fake and psychosomatic.
Truth is most people don't now still and this is what we're tangling with. The government has done a great job of misinformation and disinformation to keep this disease covered up plain and simple.
We need a whole 1 or 2 hour show on the topic at least or we're not going to get anywhere.
Most people my state don't have a clue about the disease!!!

- One sad component of this program is that Katie has apparently stopped being a real investigative journalist. She should have made sure that all errors were corrected before moving on.
And, it seems she did not do much research on this. We are supposed to be satisfied because she did a reasonably adequate job for a fluff interviewer -- when we really needed someone with her full journalistic capabilities (which she apparently left behind).
And, not everyone "does" chat forums or twitter.
It's nice that she is providing a forum on her website for comments and continuing "discussion" but it really does let the investigative reporters off the hook to just toss it out there and not come back with the kind of hard hitting analysis that she frequently displayed in her "previous" life.
She would have never let errors from those being interviewed just slide before. Ever. It seems she was not as well educated as required for such a topic. I wish she would study it in depth and come back with a panel of ILADS doctors who would address the IDSA fallacies. -

The after programming discussion is going on here. This is a different discussion than the one that was going on before the show aired:

Good idea about Date line or 60 min. I usually don't watch either one of them but it would be worth having an hour on the topic...well maybe 30 min with all the commercials. Posts: 15927 | From Became too sick to work or do household chores in 2001. | Registered: Dec 2002

- I'm holding out for Frontline but they did such a horrible job with a program about autism and the additives in vaccines. Totally discounted the additives.
I'm pretty sure any major network could not wrap their head around lyme or give reporters what they truly need with time and access - or allow truth to be told. key points.
But after that autism program that even PBS Frontline dropped the ball on, I have my concerns
As it is, the networks now how doctors on their staff to cover medical reports and, often, they only touch on the briefest details, missing some over what I used to think was the best.
Maybe, though, as one reporter after another starts reporting even what pieces they can, maybe things will come to light. -
