This link goes to the Discovery Channel, where there is voting for the Viewer's Choice award. If you feel like doing something like booting (Mystery Diagnosis -- Episode 16) to the top, by all means, go for it -- and pass it along. Tonight a 8 pm they'll announce the winner.

Lyme doctors and patients have tried for years to get something on Lyme out -- but the talk show gurus aren't biting yet. This would give the disease higher profile, which it desperately needs. (Compared to West Nile Virus, it gets very little funding. And its long-term effect on people and on the GNP may be devastating.)

A documentary film maker has got a ton of info for a picture, but not enough funds yet to finish editing, etc. So it will get out there eventually. But this would be nice.

(I must admit to great curiosity to what the current first place entry is -- but gotta be loyal to the Lyme diagnosis!)

I just voted, and as of now Mystery Diagnosis #16 is in 2nd place, though it is 23% as opposed to the Dr. G episode's 45%.

thanx --

Yes, I doubt that the Lyme segment will win -- but I am pleased to see how many voted for it. I keep thinking the breaking point is just around the corner.

I expect it to end up in second place. But this gave it a slightly higher profile.

Do you know how the woman ended up 150 feet away from her wheelchair? That was the runaway position.
