The Lyme disease story: some doctors lost their licenses for helping Lyme patients.
49 States' Health Depts attacked our Lyme drs for 'treating Lyme too aggressively.'
Health Dept stormtroopers invaded our drs' offices, absconded with files to investigate and then bring charges against our drs - who then had to go thru trials to prove their protocols were safe, in order to justify and keep their licenses.
There'd be a panel of state determined experts, a real kangaroo court as Drs had few rights in the proceedings.
Lyme advocates and patients attended trials to support the drs who were saving us.
Most did keep their medical licenses, but it took weeks of hearings and thousands of legal fees and lost office time, a sad loss for patients.
The years of states' attacks on our drs resulted in fewer who were able and willing to buck the system, fewer to help Lyme patients.
Heartbreaking to know it's as yet, unresolved. Many, including friends and family, died and are still dying.
