In May 1999, a thirty-year-old woman entered the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, with jaundice and confusion. Despite aggressive attempts at resuscitation, she died soon after. Her diagnosis: a fatal blood clot that had lodged in her heart, a consequence of an indwelling intravenous catheter. Lyme Literate doctors had tested her urine, blood, and spinal fluid for the presence of Lyme bacteria and Lyme antibodies. Every test had been negative. They treated her anyway. At the time of her death, she had received intravenous antibiotics for more than two years.
Alternate therapy? No thanks!
