Dear Friends,

A passionate doctor who cares for children with Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases is currently in a legal battle with the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH). The CT DPH is attempting to suspend the medical license of Dr. Charles Ray Jones, a member of the Turn the Corner Medical Advisory Board, for treating patients with Lyme disease.

We cannot let this happen. Dr. Jones treats thousands of sick children with Lyme throughout the country and abroad. He needs our help since his legal defense fund is running out. If Dr. Jones does not raise enough money by Tuesday, July 15, 2008, he will have to forfeit the case and his medical license. Not only will this affect the thousands of children he helps, it will also leave other Lyme-literate doctors vulnerable to similar malpractice suits.

Please help today by sending a check made out to "Pullman & Comley Trust Account-for Dr. Charles Jones" with the word "gift" in the memo field.

Checks can be mailed to:

Elliott B. Pollack

Please copy and paste this message into your personal emails, blogs and websites, and disseminate immediately.

Dr. Jones and the Lyme community need our help!

Sincerely,

Staci Grodin
Founder
Turn the Corner Foundation

Et ça ne s'arrange pas :

Dr. Charles Ray Jones, the 80-year old Connecticut pediatrician featured in UNDER OUR SKIN, has treated more than 10,000 children with Lyme disease over the course of his career. In addition to seeing patients six days a week, Dr. Jones has spent the last four years and hundreds of thousands of dollars defending himself against state medical board charges of “inappropriate” treatment of children with Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. This is despite the fact that the Connecticut House of Representatives just unanimously passed a bill that reassures doctors that they will not face retaliation if they choose to diagnose chronic Lyme disease and treat it with long-term antibiotics.


Is this justice, or politics-as-usual in Hartford, CT, the “Insurance Capital of the World“?

With Connecticut Lyme cases skyrocketing up 118% from 2006 to 2008 and the state desperately needing every Lyme specialist it can get, why is Dr. Charles Ray Jones still being dragged through the courts? Today his defense fund is depleted and unless he can pay his legal counsel $8,000 by October 16th, his attorney will be forced to resign. This will deal a devastating blow to Dr. Jones and all the children he treats, and it will set a dangerous precedent for other Lyme physicians.
