Judge Postpones Reprimand In Jones Case
By William Hathaway | The Hartford Courant
4:00 PM EST, February 26, 2008
A Connecticut Superior Court judge has put a reprimand temporarily on
hold by state health officials of Hamden pediatrician Dr. Charles Ray
Jones, whose license had been put on probation for diagnosing Lyme
Disease in two out-of-state patients he had never seen.
The case drew national attention because advocates for Lyme Disease
patients say Jones courageously prescribes antibiotics for the tic-
borne disease, which they says is often missed by doctors and
existing diagnostic tests.
However, many mainstream doctors have argued that Jones and
other "Lyme doctors'' often overlook more likely causes of fatigue,
joint pain and neurological deficits when they diagnose chronic Lyme
infection, a condition they argue is rare.
The medical examining board in December fined Jones $10,000 and put
the 81-year old doctor on probation for two years for prescribing
antibiotics to two Nevada children before he ever examined them.
Jones' lawyers then filed an appeal of the decision.
Under the order dated Feb. 20, a New Britain Superior Court judge
Henry S. Cohn stayed the fine and probation until Jones' appeal could
be heard.
Lawyers for the Connecticut Health Department had argued that Jones
acted inappropriately when he prescribed antibiotics to two children
in Nevada, a state with a very low incidence of Lyme Disease.
"I welcome and extend a hearty
welcome to each and all of you to come and see what is going on in the
legislative hearings." Dr. Charles Ray Jones
Only 100 people attended...how sad,
to put it nicely.
