My 18yr old daughter has just been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. I want to go on-line to get info on this. I want to ask questions about her blood results and what they mean. I can't seem to find a site that does not charge for this.

I agree with the above, I love Web MD too.  My question to you is, why not ask her doctor?  You should be able to ask questions that will help you understand what her blood results mean.  I bet that her WBC (white blood cell) count was up.  This just means that her body is producing antibodies to help fight the infection of Lyme disease.  If they have not already, they will prob. prescribe her an antibiotic to take. Don't worry Lyme disease has become more commen and as long as she gets an antibiotic in the beginning, she prob. will not suffer any ill effects.

If you want to investigate a particular doctor, all you have to do is contact your state medical board.  If they have been on the receiving end of any disciplinary action or patient complaints, you can access this info.  Also, there are a number of online sites where this stuff is posted. See my sources below for url's, some pay some free.  Also, I'd go to your state medical board's website.

This has got to be the most target-specific question I have ever seen here.\n\nI mean, a phone book check turned up nothing for you on this? Or a series of calls to a dermatogist's office to clarify?

American Medical Association.\nInformation about a doctor's training and experience can usually be obtained from the doctor's office, a local medical society (a the doctor is a member), a local hospital (if the doctor is on staff), or an HMO to which the doctor belongs. A few state licensing boards issue information about disciplinary actions, but getting it may be cumbersome. Several online organizations provide easy access to various amounts of information. Internet Health Pilot has a handy listy of the medical and osteopathic licensing board Web sites.\n\nThe American Medical Association's AMA Physician Select provides limited information on the training and certification status of all of the more than 690,000 medical and osteopathic physicians currently licensed in the United States. It does not list disciplinary actions. Searches can be done only one state at a time. This service is free of charge.\n\nThe American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) CertifiedDoctor Verification Service can be used to check whether a doctor is certified by one of the 24 recognized specialty boards. The searches yield no other information. All states can be searched simultaneously. This site is primarily useful for checking the certification status of a doctor whose location is unknown. Registration at the site is required, but this service is free of charge.\n\nHealthGrades maintains a searchable database of medical and osteopathic physicians. Its reports cover education and training; specialties; board certification; disciplinary actions. and several other characteristics. Searching, which costs $7.95 for the first search and $2.95 for each additional search, requires the physician's last name and state of practice. The resultant information includes whether the doctor has been sanctioned within the past few years, but no details are provided. People seeking a new doctor in their own community can get a report that compares up to 20 of them for $9.95. Reports are also available for hospitals and nursing homes.\n\nThe most comprehensive database is ChoiceTrust, which charges $9.95 for a credential history and $19.95 for a one-day pass.\n\nPublic Citizen's Health Research Group, which operates the Questionable Doctors site, has stopped updating its database of disciplinary actions and is no longer accepting new subscribers.\nGovernment Sources\n\nMost states have Web sites with searchable databases, but the amount of information varies considerably from state to state. With respect to disciplinary actions, some provide brief summaries, some provide extensive documentation, and others simply say whether or not a disciplinary action has taken place. A few state boards provide information about malpractice suits and criminal convictions, but research at relevant courthouses is more likely to yield results. Searching Google may also yield such information. Internet Health Pilot provides a convenient list of the medical and osteopathic boards that maintain Web sites.\n\nThe U.S. Office of the Inspector General administers two databanks that collect adverse information about physicians and other healthcare providers. The information is not available to the general public but can be accessed by government agencies, credentialing organizations, and certain other parties.\n\n    * The National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB, which began operating in 1990, is intended to hinder the movement of "problem practitioners" from one facility or state to another. Licensing boards are required to report all actions that revoke, suspend, or restrict a license for reasons related to the practitioner's professional competence or conduct. Professional societies must report all professional review actions that adversely affect the membership of a physician or dentist. Hospital administrators must report disciplinary actions that negatively affect a doctor's clinical privileges for more than 30 days and must query the Data Bank w
