It really is bad the way they treat lyme disease. I took my kids in last summer and told them the kids had lyme disease and we needed the scrip.
I was looked at like I was nuts and told 'we don't have lyme disease here'. Well, you do now! It took me several days and several different doctors and tests before they would even DO the lyme check. They came back saying only ONE of the kids was positive and would only give the scrip for that one.
2 days later I was back with 2 more, both with the rings, and they were calling in other doctors and nurses to come look because they had no idea what it looked like. a couple days later was back with another 1 and when I went in I was told that word had got around and if I came back the hospital wanted permission to take pictures for their training. :thumb: Happy to be of service. I said I'd give permission IF they treated all the kids since they were ALL in the same area playing and ALL had been bitten by ticks the same day. It took me over an hour to search and pick all the ticks off them that day.
The kids each had 1 round of anti-biotics except 1. The youngest had 5 rounds before it was gone.
Here's a lyme ring if anyone's interested. ETA: That ring is NOT where he was bit. The bite itself was at the base of his neck.
