training MDs

June 6, 1999

Dear ,

I've mentioned a couple of times in the last couple of days, on one

newsgroup or another, that I'm training my local Internist. I also

started w/ Dr. Burr.'s article and, tho I highlighted it down to about 5

pages, he read it in its entirety. I also gave him one by Dr.

Bransfield (4-5 pages - highlighted to 1-2) because my Lyme is very

psychiatric and Bransfield is my Lyme psychiatrist. He read that in its

entirety as well. I'm considering what I'm dropping off next myself.

I've explained my diff. test results. It is wonderful to hear you are

tackling so many. How ironic is it that we, the sick and untrained, are

now educating (free) the MDs who haven't a clue.

I feel it is worth mentioning that it is a good idea to start w/an MD

w/whom you've had a good relationship. Quite an advantage when they

know you weren't whiny or crazy before. My MD is an Internist and I can

only hope his learning will spread throughout his practice. You have

made me aware I can do more. My husband and I are at the same income/IQ

range and are friends and neighbors with many MDs. Recently, my son's

Orthodontist wrote me asking whether to get the vaccine...cool, a little

respect!

I believe sheer nos. of victims, ever increasing, along with

-Slyme-Beecham's push NOW for the Lyme horror picture to be shown

full-force which will alarm people enough to run for the vaccine.

Double-edged sword...who knows how many will be injured by the vaccine

(sad), yet now S-S-B has slimed Yale (no longer any need for their Lyme

tales) joined forces, to some degree, w/LDF and are great proliferators

of the magnitude and prevalence of Lyme coast-to-coast. So, between the

factors revealing the truth and the sure realization of many un and

misdiagnosed Lyme sufferers and the increase of infections...who's

gonna' treat them all? MDs can not learn this tricky, multi-faceted

treatment and diagnosis overnite. And, so, we go out with purpose and

foresight to teach MDs what they should've known and bring hope to the

masses. I will spread the news as much as I can. Thank you, , Judy
