ON BEING “REASONABLE!”by Eva Day on Saturday, 17 July 2010 at 01:58
so in a moment of flippant nonsense I dedicate this to all this helpful doctors we have all met along the way and may we all keep a hold of our humour
I went to see a specialist: but “HCV is not that bad” he stated
And then look completely baffled when I got quite agitated
I’m on the edge already, I yelled- with no sense of proportion
-I grabbed his pen and on my notes, I scribbled the word: Caution!
I am happy to report that the virus is now undetected but: beware
I am losing all rationality and patience, as well as lots of hair
Combination therapy and the sides have driven me up the wall
Making both my skin and - as time slows down – the seconds crawl
And anyway, so many medics just talk bollocks and have no real concern
maybe you don’t know much about Hep C – but you don’t seem to want to learn
Zero tolerance (of aggressive patients) says the notice on the board
But I’ve no more patience left for stupid doctors, so put that on my record.
Zero tolerance from me when arrogant practitioners get snooty
So, once when feeling sick – I leaned forward and chucked up on his desk. That was a beauty!

most docs don't even consider Hep C, even if they know you have it, when you report health problems. I was tested for everything from fibromyalgia to Thyroid disease before I realized, hey maybe it's the hep C. I asked the doc for a complete liver panel and sure enough it was. My viral levels were way up and a biopsy revealed liver scarring.
ReplyDeleteI'm on treatment now which is Hell, but I have to wonder if I hadn't advocated for myself, how much farther this disease would have progressed before someone thought to consider it.
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers..
