Men don’t “shop”. They “go get it”.

Someone suggested Lyme disease for Dr. House's mystery patient this evening, and House said impossible, because there's no red bull's eye.
Dr. House screwed up. (Well, the script writers screwed up.)
a.) Not everyone with Lyme gets a bull's eye, and
b.) if there is a bull's eye, it's just a short-term initial reaction when first infected; long-term Lyme won't show the bull's eye any more, and
c.) the patient's heart problem would have indicated that he'd had Lyme for quite a while, so any bull's eye would be long gone, and
d.) the patient was Black, and the bull's eye, if there even is or was one, is often missed on Black skin.
I'm surprised that no one on the show staff caught it.

I saw that episode and thought the same thing. I am sure they talked to lyme illiterate doctors who had told them that. Because of all of this, and ignorant drs, I have to drive 4 hours to see my lyme dr. I could go on and on but something is stopping the media from the telling the truth about lyme. There are reasons for this, dont you think
