Guest guest Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Teri thanks. I did tell my son that. The doctor told him to run around like a chicken with his head cut off and tell anyone he was every with. Imagine how scared he was when he left that office. I get madder and madder at the doc. When I go their with my son next week I think I am going to let these doctors know that. And to think I like Dr. Oz what an idiot.

I didn't realize it was so damn prevalent. Doctors giving out mis-information about Hep C because they don't know any better. LORD HELP US ALL. It was bad enough when that quack Dr. Oz told the world on national tv that Hep C was a sexually transmitted disease and NEVER recanted his statement.. even when thousands of people wrote into his show and flooded his website with comments. Sharon,Your son needs to know that he didn't pass this on sexually to anyone. He has enough to deal with right now, he doesn't need to deal with half truths that a doctor that doesn't know it all told him. This is NOT a sexually transmitted disease. Not at all. Granted, it COULD happen but not with normal sexual practices. It just doesn't happen that way... Now I know someone is going to want to jump on this and get on that bandwagon with Dr. Oz. Do me a favor, don't. It is NOT a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it as Dr. Oz called it an "STD". This is just not a way that the virus is spread.

I hate it when the Drs. don't tell the whole truth!! I had HepC without knowing it, for my whole marriage. My husband does not have HepC. Lots of folks are still trying to hide their infection from family, friends and/or co-workers. We are so very hopeful, that what Steve and Teri are already involved in and hopefully I will be on the Canadian side, will begin to educate everyone on what HepC is and isn't!! I have never accepted the stigmatization around it. No one and I mean absolutely no one, should be embarrassed to have this disease!! It is definitely counter productive!!For heaven's sake, your son didn't do anything whatsoever to get this virus did he?? So, he got it just because he was born. Why should he be the least ashamed to tell anyone? We need to all band together and stop this stigmatization once and for all. Please, please - tell him from me, that he has absolutely no reason to hide anything. Absolutely nothing. Just look at how many babies have been born addicted because of their mothers. Now that is almost criminal! I have a granddaughter (adopted) that was actually born addicted, alcoholic and any other thing you can think of. She will have to live her entire life battling all the awful affects it has had on her. However, your son was passed a virus that he can get rid of or it may never get to a point of worrying about. He should hold his head high and never, ever be ashamed of anything.Gloria Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post | Start a New Topic Messages in this topic (28) Recent Activity: New Members 4 New Links 70 Visit Your Group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Since I saw that ONE show I have never watched him again. Not sure if the guy is even a real doctor or if he just plays one on TV. He makes Dr. Phil look good.Hugs,Teri On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 4:02 PM, Sharon Mcdonald <sharonmcdonald95@...> wrote: Teri thanks. I did tell my son that.
