AG Blumenthal responds to Forbes (magazine)
Ticked Off
" Lyme Inc." (in Mar. 12/07 edition) unfairly linked my investigation into the Infectious Diseases Society of America's (IDSA) Lyme disease guidelines to disciplinary proceedings against a small group of Lyme disease specialists. These cases played no role in my decision to launch this investigation. Your implication that the true purpose of my investigation is to shield doctors from sanction was untrue and irresponsible.
My investigation seeks to assure that all scientific and medical facts were and are considered in their formulation. My office launched the investigation after receiving complaints from medical experts and patients alleging that the IDSA excluded or ignored certain information, resulting in flawed guidelines. I have a legal obligation to investigate these serious allegations, including possible antitrust violations that would arise if insurers or others improperly influenced the process by excluding competing views and information for their economic benefit. Lyme disease is a persistent and prevalent medical problem in Connecticut. My office has a duty to ensure that the thousands of state residents stricken with this sometimes crippling disease receive the most medically effective treatment.
