A step back for NH
I’m glad I waited to decide to support NHPR’s Patient Zero. It’s a definite NO. Rating this down to one star. This podcast is harmful. Take the time to do some unbiased research. (1-4 were a good start). This podcast is lazy journalism. If music and gimmicks are your thing Quimby, stick to what you know —don’t mock those suffering you have no creditable knowledge about. — Ep. 6 - the conversation stagnates. C diff is very serious, and is absolutely a concern. But 3/4 a podcast on the same argument that’s been going on for decades why not to treat? Disappointed the producers didn’t dive deeper into research, on both sides, and come up with a podcast to help listeners, and physicians, development better understanding on updated education and individualized treatment options. It’s time to move the conversation forward. —— The first four were very good, but took a nose dive on the fifth. It was a waste of an opportunity to focus on just one clinic that has questionable treatments. Found this 5th podcast harmful to all who didn’t have the fortune to get swift treatment like the producers did (Quimby et al) for the acute stage and their recovery was quick. To mock those who are suffering as hypochondriacs or paranoid with long term symptoms who were misdiagnosed and ignored by their doctors for years is falling back to your old harmful rhetoric. Hope the last two will be back on track. It’s long overdue for the NH medical community to take Tick Borne Diseases seriously and help their patients. Stigmas have no place in healing. It begins with unbiased education.

But the quippy little jokes, random music, and tone deaf narration do a great disservice to those suffering with this illness as well as to the topic itself. I can barely sit through the silly...Read full review »

A holistic and absorbing look into the history, controversies, and treatments of Lyme Disease. I love all the different perspectives incorporated into this show. The storytelling is great too!

The first episode is exciting and looks to be setting up another great podcast from NHPR. Update: this is a fascinating, well-told story. Another winner from NHPR
