Research has shown that doctors make a preliminary diagnosis within the first 18 seconds of an interview with a patient. 

Doctors rely heavily on their initial impression during the interview to guide their diagnosis and treatment plan. 

This initial impression is influenced by various factors such as the patient’s appearance, behavior, and initial symptoms presented.

Is it any wonder that the average Lyme patient sees 5 doctors over nearly 2 years before being properly diagnosed? That’s according to Daniel Cameron , MD, the former president of the International Lyme And Associated Disease Society (ILADS).

In my clinical experience, this numbers represent a best case scenario. Many of  my patients report seeing a dozen or more practitioners over five years or more.

It’s tragic and completely avoidable
