Please take time to make this follow up call to Westchester Medical Center and New York Medical College and urge others to do the same. It was very successful in getting our message across on the day of the Protest.. and we need to let them know we are NOT going away and we mean business! THANKS!
Call In to Westchester/NY Medical College-
The Lyme Rights Group would like you to make calls again on Wednesday, December 6 to Westchester Medical Center and New York Medical College. This is a follow up to calls made on rally day.
Instructions:
We are asking that Lyme patients across the country make some very important phone calls of support. PLEASE CALL the following administrators who are in positions of authority over Drs. Raymond Dattwyler, Robert Nadelman, and Gary Wormser, the three Guidelines authors whom we are protesting.
PEOPLE TO CALL:
1) Ralph A. O'Connell, M.D. Acting President and Provost & Dean of NY Medical College (914) 594-4600
2) Susan A. Kline, M.D. Vice Provost, University Student Affairs & Executive Vice Dean, Academic Affairs (914) 594-4500
3) Michael Israel President and CEO Westchester Medical Center (914)-493-7017
WHAT TO SAY POLITELY:
1) Say that you suffer from Lyme disease and that there are 3 doctors employed at the Westchester Medical Center & NY Medical College who have published guidelines that will cut off thousands of patients from necessary medical treatment. (Again, the names of those employees are Dr. Raymond Dattwyler, Dr. Robert Nadelman and Dr. Gary Wormser.)
2) Ask that they, as administrators in positions of power, intervene with these doctors on behalf of people who are desperately ill.
3) Please be polite. This is critically important, because we are asking for their help.
WHEN TO CALL- BY THE TIME ZONE IN WHICH YOU LIVE
Eastern time zone (call 11AM Eastern Time)
Central Time Zone (call 11AM Central Time)
Mountain Time Zone (call 11AM Mountain Time)
Pacific Time Zone (call 11AM Pacific Time)
In order to make sure the calls are spread out, we are asking people to call according to the above schedule.
If you can't call in your time slot for some reason, go ahead and call anyway.

I prefer writing letters. I tried to call last time and the mailbox was full. I think that a letter would be more likely to get their attention because you have a chance to make your objections known in greater detail.
ANY action from anyone is helpful. I think you should just do what you feel most comfortable with.

each time I called I was transfered to the PR's voicemail and it makes you wonder where those messages are really going to go...
the people you have listed were 'not in' and each time I was transfered to the PR's voicemail...did this happen to everyone?..I wonder if anyone there will relay these messages?...

Yes.. they get them and WILL hear messages... so do call!
Thanks for taking time to do it.
As for letters. Sounds good at first.. but I would NOT do it until instructed to... for a variety of reasons. And I am usually the one to jump on stuff.. and feel maybe not this time??
Maybe wait till "big minds" review that idea and get back to us?
Could possibly cause problems for a number of folks??
