[Guest guest]

If you’re concerned about Lyme disease care…

Your Participation is Crucial –

Your Access to Care is in Jeopardy!

Tuesday, December 18, 2007

3 events, same day, same building..

Join patients, advocates, doctors & legislators.

Numbers count!

Our Lyme doctors are being discredited and brought up on charges;

O ur coverage is being denied;

We are losing the ability to be treated with effective protocols.

This is our chance to DEMAND access to quality care!

1. Join Legislators & Media for FREE breakfast

9 am to 10 am

Private Dining Room - 1st Floor / Connecticut Legislative Office Building in

Hartford

Call your state legislators at www.congress.org and make sure they are coming.

Speakers:

Representative Bartlett – 2nd Assembly District for the State of CT

Cameron, MD, President

International Lyme & Associated Diseases Society (ILADS)

, President

Lyme Disease Association, an all volunteer national patient advocacy

organization

Sandy Berenbaum, LCSW, BCD

2. Lyme Disease Prevention Informational Forum

10 am to 12pm

Room 1-D / Connecticut Legislative Office Building in Hartford

Cartter, Durland Fish & others will speak at this forum.

No Lyme patient advocacy representatives have been invited to the forum, but

there will be an Animal Rights activist speaking. Who will speak for our

children? We consider this a blatant dismissal of the concerns of patients who

may have a differing opinion.

3. MAIN EVENT: Dr. Hearing - Medical Board Proposed Memorandum of

Decision

1:30pm

Conference Room 2c / Connecticut Legislative Office Building in Hartford , CT

The room seats 200. We need to fill them.

The hearing is scheduled to review the preliminary findings of the panel charged

with overseeing this case. It is very important we demonstrate to the Medical

Board, through our respectful attendance, the importance of this courageous

physician to the care of our children nationwide. This is the first time the

entire board will have the opportunity to see the patients & advocates. A large

turnout is ESSENTIAL!
