HepCBoy’s Hepatitis C Rules
Rule 4
Deserves got nothing to do with it.
Here in the UK we have a free health service paid for with taxpayers money, its not perfect but I’m a big fan. The danger with such a service is that people can start to think in terms of “entitled” or “deserve”, thinking like that will kill you.
You need to ensure that you get the best medical care available, there are a lot of things YOU can do to achieve that aim.
Here’s one…When you go and see the Doctor dress to impress, make the effort and show visually that you are a motivated and committed patient, it works. It has a double advantage too, when you are feeling down and rough and need some help you can “dress down” a little, send the Doctor a visual signal.
Life is very simple when you put aside the concept of deserve.

Good advice, I agree wholeheartedly!

I agree a little but doctors should still treat everyone equally

Hi Breena!
Why do you think Doctors are so different to everybody else, do you treat everybody just the same?
The simple fact is that they don’t. Now that you have that information what are you going to do about it?

Yes all of you should feel blessed I am sitting here diagnosed 6 months ago but cant afford the $1000 dollars a month to get treatment.
That was with insurance and now I am without insurance its probably twice that amount and forget the freebie help offers from shering plough 6 months qand no response.
