Dr. Eoin Healy:

That would be my experience. People who I know have suffered from Lyme disease have had poor experiences in dealing with medical practitioners and an unwillingness to accept their condition. Often I believe this is because it is not within their own area of expertise. Infectious disease consultants are not used to Lyme disease. They are specialists in other areas. The Lyme disease patient gets, perhaps, not 100 per cent treatment.
