New Hampshire's Virtual Town Hall
I feel pretty strongly about this. I disagree with HB1326.
First of all, the New Hampshire Board of Medicine. They exist, and for good reason, they oversee all medical practice in the state of New Hampshire, if someone has a complaint about a doctor, that’s who they go to, not the General Court. If this bill passed it would be the first bill ever to regulate/ 'protect' medical practice/ practitioners. Do you know who I trust to oversee my medical treatment, Doctors, a board of doctors, not the House or the Senate.
Second of all, in lieu of all this Lyme's disease bill business the board of medicine sent out for more conclusive research regarding the long-term use of antibiotics for Lyme's. Do you know what they found? Nothing, the long-term use was shown to have no significant result on the treatment of Lyme's verse a placebo. I think what we have here is arbitrarily assigned hope.
Thirdly, doctors are not being pressured out of the state. I don't think there is some league terrorizing Lyme specialists out of the state. They are going to Connecticut and New York where the disease/ their patients are much more prevalent.
How about we leave the doctors to the science and the politicians to the politics.
