Re: can you be sued if...{susan}

November 30, 2006

I just had to put my 2cents in. I am not meaning to be rude or out of line. But for real folks, I really think that the focus should be on treating the HCV. If you spend all your time trying to figure out how you got it, or who gave it to you I think its a waste of time and energy. Stop playing the name game and get on with it, finding out how you got it sure ain't gonna make it go away. The exception is the prison worker thing... That is a little freaky. But how on earth can we really know for sure how we all got here... The doc's can't even give you an idea other than speculation.

Hi Denis,

The how it matters is broken down like this:

You go to your doctor,get the blood work done and learn that you have Hep C.

Then you go for typing and viral load blood work and possibly a biopsy.

Then the CDC calles you and asks you a bunch of questions stating that your answers will be anonymous.

Then the CDC developes statistics.

My feeling about these stats is that there are trying to convince the public that our health care system (blood Bank) is safe, and that the way that people contract this disease is via poor judgement and lifestyle choices. Since I joined this group and started reading alot of the commentary, I've noticed a thin thred of guilt that alot of us have. My mind knows it's nonsence but my emotion sometimes gets me going. Anytime I speak with someone who does'nt know a thing about this disease, asks " who did you get it from, or did you do drugs ect... " So it's really not suprising to feel insecure.

-I certainly sympathize with your point of view, and agree that we

should all be positive and focus on what is important. However, a

member of this group was very much interested in discussing the legal

remedies that may be available to him, and perhaps he needs to

exercise his legal rights in order to obtain the resources for

treatment. Our member may be experiencing stress from dealing with

trying to figure out how to not only pay his doctor bills, but just

have enough money to live on if he is disabled. Since stress is never

a positive thing for us to deal with, anything that we can do to

alleviate stress, either by providing information, suggestions about

how to get through tx, or just " be there " is helpful to members.

Some of us can't use this forum yet to talk about our experiences with

tx because if insurance or other issues preventing us from paying for

tx! I myself would LOVE to talking about how my tx is going, but due

to insurance issues, I won't be able to start till the spring. I am

luckier than many, who don't have any insurance and have no hope of

getting any.

This group is for people suffering from hep c and their families and

friends, NOT just for people on tx!

November 30, 2006

SUSAN I THINK YOU MAY HAVE TAKEN MY POST A LITTLE OUT OF CONTEXT, I TOTALLY AGREE AND SYMPATHIZE WITH ANYONE IN HIS POSITION AS I MENTIONED IN MY POST. I HAVE NO INSURANCE, FORTUNATLY I DO GET MY MEDS BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT I AM ALSO UNABLE TO WORK BECAUSE OF THE DIABETES AS WELL. I WAS NOT POINTING ANY FINGERS AT ANYONE, I DEPEND ON THIS SITE TO HELP KEEP MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS EDUCATED AS WELL. I SOUGHT HELP WITH QUESTIONS I HAD THAT ONLY COULD COME FROM YOU GUYS. MOST OF THE INFO WAS WHAT HELPED ME MAKE THE DECISION TO GO FORWARD WITH TREATMENT AND MY HUSBAND READS THE POSTS AS WELL SO THAT HE CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND AND COPE WITH OUR JOURNEY. I ALSO FORWARD GOOD INFO TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS SO THEY CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND AND EDUCATE THEMSELVES. I WOULD NEVER BE SO SELF CENTERED TO THINK THAT THE SITE REVOLVES AROUND PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLY ON TREATMENT. I AM JUST A VERY OUTSPOKEN PERSON. SOME PEOPLE I GUESS MISTAKE THAT AS I AM BEING

HARSH, SO I GUESS THE BEST THING FOR ME TO DO IS JUST NOT POST ANYTHING ELSE UNLESS I HAVE A QUESTION THAT I CAN NOT FIND AN ANSWER TO ELSEWHERE. I HOPE I DID NOT OFFEND ANYONE THAT WAS NOT MY INTENTION. I WAS SHOCKED AND WISH THE BEST FOR THE GENTLEMAN BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE HE REALLY COULD KNOW WHERE HE GOT IT AND I HOPE HE PREVAILS. I ONLY WISH GOOD THINGS FOR EVERYONE ON THE SITE. I HOPE THEY HAVE LOVING SPOUSES FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO GET THEM THRU ALL STAGES OF DEALING WITH HCV, AND THAT INCLUDES THOSE WHO ARE ON TREATMENT OR JUST BEING DIAGNOSED. ITS ALL A LOT TO TRY AND FIGURE OUT. SO I WILL JUST KEEP MY THOUGHTS TO MYSELF, AND SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO IF I FEEL I HAVE ANYTHING TO OFFER. INFORTUNATLY THE TRUTH SOMETIMES HURTS AND REALITY SOMETIMES BITES. SOMETIMES WE SOUTHERN GIRLS JUST HAVE A BAD HABIT OF LETTING THE BARN DOOR OPEN, AND LETTING ALL THE ANIMALS OUT FOR A WHILE. BUT I HAVE NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER WITH TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT

ALL OF THE DEMINSIONS OF WHAT ALL THIS CAN DO TO EVERYONE. NOT JUST THE HEPPERS, BUT THE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS WHO ARE SCARED TO DEATH AND ARE NOT SURE HOW TO FACE ALL THIS 'CAUSE I HAVE BEEN THERE AND MAY BE ON THIS JOURNEY WHO KNOWS HOW LONG. AGAIN I WILL HAVE THE DIGNITY AND GRACE OF BEING RAISED WITH MANNERS AND A GOOD 'OL DOSE OF COMMON SENSE. AGAIN NO OFFENSE WAS MEANT TO ANYONE. I JUST KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO GO THRU THE MOTIONS OF PUTTING YOUR SELF THERE 9 KINDS OF HELL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY OR WHO OR HOW I CONTRACTED THIS CONDITION. IT STINKS AND YOU CAN DRIVE YOUR SELF NUTS. I AM GLAD TO SEE THAT EVEN IF ONE PERSON, CAN TRACK IT BACK TO WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL ANSWER TO HOW THEY GOT IT, I HOPE THEY CAN GET RETRIBUTION AS WELL AS SOME CLOSURE AND PIECE OF MIND. IF YOU TOOK OFFENSE TO ANYTHING I APOLIGIZE. I WILL NOT GIVE MY OPINIONS ANYMORE. THE LAST THING I WOULD WANT TO DO IS ADD ANYMORE STRESS TO ANYONES SITUATION. ITS

JUST THAT WHINNERS DON'T CARRY ANY SYMPATHY WITH ME. HOPEFULLY WHEN YOU DO START TREATMENT YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING, OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS WAR, OR YOU GIVE UP AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. I CHOOSE TO FIGHT AND SOMETIMES ITS HARDER ON THOSE WHO LOVE YOU THE MOST. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO ALL THIS THAN JUST THE TX. AGAIN I WILL NOT BOTHER ANYONE, AND I WILL KEEP MY THOUGHTS TO MYSELF. IF YOU CAN'T SAY SOMETHING NICE... SAY NOTHING AT ALL. I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FRIENDS THE BEST OF LUCK AND HOPE YOU HAVE NO SIDE EFFECTS AND A GREAT LONG LIFE. AS I DO TO EVERYONE WHO IS FACING HCV. I HOPE THIS ALLEVIATES ANY STRESS I MAY HAVE CAUSED YOU OR ANYONE ELSE. FOR SOME OF US STRESS IS A WAY OF LIFE. BECAUSE WE CAN'T AFFORD TO EVEN GET TO THE LAB OR DOCTOR, OR GET PRESCRIPS FILLED, OR SOMETIMES CHOOSING IF YOU ARE GONNA EAT OR HAVE YOUR INSULIN, BECAUSE THIS 'OL GAL HAS BEEN DOWN ALL THOSE ROADS AND I AM SURE I AM NOT DONE YET. BUT I

DON'T WHINE I JUST DO THE BEST I CAN AND WE EAT A LOT OF BEANS AND CORNBREAD, AND FRIED TATERS. I WILL SURVIVE THIS. AND IF ANYONE NEEDS ME OR WHATEVER HELP I CAN GIVE I WILL. WHAT I DON'T NEED IS A GUILT TRIP, BECAUSE OF A MISUNDERSTANDING OR WHATEVER SEEMS TO BE AT ISSUE.

Honey you did not offend me, with what you said, in fact I hope you have read that I too, don't care where people got their disease. It simply doesn't matter to me. And if you stop posting I will come and find you and tickle you with a feather till you puke. Because I want everyone to state their feelings. Okay.

ANYTHING I APOLIGIZE. I WILL NOT GIVE MY OPINIONS ANYMORE. THE LAST THING I WOULD WANT TO DO IS ADD ANYMORE STRESS TO ANYONES SITUATION. ITS JUST THAT WHINNERS DON'T CARRY ANY SYMPATHY WITH ME. HOPEFULLY WHEN YOU DO START TREATMENT YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING, OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS WAR, OR YOU GIVE UP AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
