From the Hartford Courant:
State Disciplines Doctor At Center Of Lyme Disease Controversy
Sounds a bit harsh to me though he really needs to examione his patients and definitely meet them before ordering potentially invasive tests especially on young kids.
I just watched underourskin, the film. It is appalling to see the big money silence doctors that do find cures, as an exemplary action and preemptive action to ‘show’ other doctors what would happen if they too want to help patients… And to incur in high cost treatments with antibiotics, that the guidelines for lyme disease in Connecticut, written by industry and drug funded physicians, argue against.
