I just looked that up and it says the Lyme Disease show is Friday night chronicle. Either way I am going to check both nights. I live in NH. If you live in the Boston area you will have to catch the show on channel 9 tonight because of the Patriots game is on channel 5 pre game at 7:00.

Its on Friday night. Here's the website that gives a brief description. From one of the teasers
I saw on TV today, it looks like Dr. J may be interviewed as well.

Hi Folks,

The Chronicle show just finished. Wow, I am impressed. It was VERY good. The show included all the players; Dr. J in Ct,
Dr. B from NY, Dr. D from MA, P Weintraub who wrote Cure Unknown and many more. It gave an accurate brief history and
interviewed people who either had it or who's children had it. One woman was misdiagnosed with MS while one child was diagnosed
with mental issues and hospitalized. The movie Under Our Skin was mentioned as well. Att. General Leventhal from CT was interviewed
and talked about the IDSA Board. I didn't realize that Dr. D was on that board and was thrown off it while they were discussing the guidelines.

It was a big step in the right direction! Finally! They briefly mentioned the co-infections too.

Anyone else see it?

Dr. D is my doctor and was wonderful to see him on the show. I was thrilled and hope a lot of people watched and it will help them find answers.
