Hello Lyme Friends,
Please, can you help?
Jennifer Christi, a former WLN board member and close affiliate
with the WLN worked very hard to get a CME accredited lecture approved
for Dr. Cameron,former ILADS president and lead specialist on Lyme
Disease in Wisconsin. He is training our interested practitioners from
our VIEW newsletter mailings this October. He will be coming to
Wisconsin on Saturday October 6th from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. to present
material to licensed practitioners only at the Milwaukee County Medical College on Lyme diease.
Attached is the flyer for this event. It can be
printed and dispersed to clinics, licensed practitioner practices and
hospitals. Here are my suggestions of how best to approach the
following locations.
Hospital: bring it to their Human
Resource Department and ask if they would review it and disperse to
employees if able. Remind people that this is a CME accredited course
authorized and approved by the Milwaukee County Medical College. This
college, as of last December 2011 holds a $13.9 million dollar grant to
do research on Lyme Disease. It is FREE with 2 CME Credits for licensed practitioners.
Clinic: ask at the receptionist desk who
you can speak to regarding dispersing information on a CME accredited
lecture at the Milwaukee County Medical College on Lyme Disease specific
to licensed practitioners.
Practitioner Office: tell the receptionist
that you are there to drop off information on a CME accredited course
at the Milwaukee County Medical College on Lyme Disease. Give them a
copy of the flyer and ask if they would share it with their colleagues.
Inform them that the reason you are bringing this to their office is
because this disease is frequently misdiagnosed and encompasses all the
systems of the body. You can mention that per the CDC Vector Borne
Illnesses are 12 times higher then reported cases.
I know many of you are ill yourself and it may be difficult for you
to get out to do this. I would be happy to mail not only Cameron's
flyer for this presentation but also a copy of our VIEW newsletter to
any practitioner name and address you provide to me.
Think of your journey with this illness and how many doctors you
have seen? How about their names and addresses? Look at your old
medical records, this may help refresh your memory?
Please forward names and addresses of practitioners to collins.kristin@att.net
as soon as possible. I will send these out through Friday September
28th at the latest. Time is of the essence here. We only have 10 days to
accomplish this.
I really appreciate all your help on this. I'm sure many of you
have wanted to bring Lyme to the attention of the
multiple practitioners that have misdiagnosed you. This is YOUR opportunity.
Please forward this to your Lyme friends as well. Let's fill this
auditorium at the Milwaukee County Medical College and make this a
worthwhile trip for Dr. Cameron and for the many patients in need here
in Wisconsin and surrounding states.
This lecture will bring those in attendance a basic understanding
of Lyme disease and spark interest for them to want to not only learn
more but perhaps to receive future ILADS training. Wisconsin has some
funds for this training. Lets take this opportunity to make a
difference in many people's lives. Dr. Cameron is doing this for us for
free. Please help us welcome him with a full auditorium of licensed
practitioners.
Your help with this is so appreciated.

This is very interesting considering the Medical College doctors are the very ones who refused to acknowledge my Lyme last summer when I was a patient at Froedtert. I had to threaten to leave AMA before they'd let me see a neurologist who knew anything about Lyme, and it took them 2 weeks of my being a paralyzed patient before they'd even do a lumbar puncture which BTW proved I did indeed have Lyme. Interesting they're having this NOW.
ReplyDeleteIt's also interesting that they were awarded the grant for millions to research Lyme, when their docs told me I couldn't have Lyme because no one had Lyme there before.
