Lyme Disease Takes on Medicine

About this book

For more than thirty years Daniel Cameron M.D. has practiced medicine with a twist. While he trained in Internal Medicine at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan he also completed a residency in Public Health from Mt. Sinai Medical Center also in Manhattan. His public health training means while he toils to get patients well he also teaches them the whys of their illnesses. When he began to see patients with Lyme disease he continued to teach patients but with his Public Health background he also saw the need to teach a wider audience about the tick-borne disease. To that end he started a blog he titled: All Things Lyme. In his blog Dr. Cameron highlights important research about tick infections Lyme treatment testing medications and other topics related to Lyme disease and co-infections. As the blogs accumulated Dr. Cameron thought it a good idea to put the mini-essays into a book which would categorize them by subject matter. But he didnt want just a book of blogs; he wanted the book to have a purposeactually he wanted the book to have a life. He envisioned a book which would reach many audiences in many different ways. For those who like the feel of a page the smell of the ink and love to scratch margin notes theres the traditional version. For those who want the book on their computer theres the eBook. You can download it to your desktop; print off the blogs you might want to take to your physician. You can hit a link and go to other sites. Or load it to your eBook reader and make it portable. In addition to the book Dr. Cameron has plans for more outreach and discussion on the books topics. In short this book born of the blog titled All Things Lyme was designed with the needs of the reader in mind. What information might you need as a patient as a care-giver as a physician as an advocate? Its here; and Book Two is in the works. It was an honor to be asked to help with this project. It was great fun to work with Dr. Cameron. All of those who worked on this book the videos the website and other aspects look forward to hearing what you think.
