No it is NOT. What part of our previous discussions and Dr Jones'

He DID lose his case! He was CONVICTED of practicing medicine
negligently on more than one occasion. And it DID involve his treatment
of Lyme and other TBDs. He LOST. He was convicted. He was sentenced to
a period of probation and forced to practice with a practice monitor
for some period of time supervising his practice. Etc.

You LIAR!

What he did was NOT telemedicine. Neither he NOR any doctor he was
working with saw the patient children!

Telemedicine involves a high speed hookup so the patient can be "seen"
via VIDEO working with specialists and a local doctor. Labs are done
and transmitted. A local doctor conducts procedures and examinations.

Making a diagnosis by telephone and treating by telephone is NOT
TELEMEDICINE!

This is TYPICAL of the LIES of you and Ellen Lubarsky and other Lyme
activists and is exactly why I find you so dangerous and why you
constantly make things WORSE not better.

LIAR!

LIAR!

LIAR!

This is such outrageous bull***!

Dr Jones might as well get a gun and shoot himself. That would be
better than hooking up with YOU, with Pat Smith and with Ellen
Lubarsky.

You'll be the ruin of him!

NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP PHYLLIS YOU FUCKING MORON SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY
SHUT THE *** UP!!!!
