Hi Lloyd
This is a letter I wrote to FX network regarding their information
from a doctor to a patient regarding HCV----------Lloyd, every
time I hear stuff like this I get really upset. (PISSED OFF
IS MORE LIKE IT). I don't know if you want to write to them,
who knows, you may get somebody famous to help you with getting
the message out.

Yet Another TV show errors about Hep C transmission
The popular FX series NipTuck aired tonight
with a male patient blood results showing him to be positive
for Hep C virus. The doctor informed him that he got it through
one of his female sexual contacts.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
While watching your show NIP/TUCK-------------
You have made many incorrect statements about HCV -----------
First of all Hepatitis C is not an STD! --------- While
many of us recieved this virus from blood transfusions and
various other sources, studies have showed that Hep C was
not even tested for until 90-91.
I recieved a Blood Transfusion in 1985, back
when blood banks were paying $5.00, a cup of orange juice
and a muffin to lower economic individuals who needed the
money.
Your information about "Dr. Troy"
telling a patient that he probably recieved this virus from
one of his sexual encounters is absurd.
While the media casts a great amount of misinformation
about HCV to the public and now on FAKE T.V. SHOWS, a soap
opera of sorts, you are sending the wrong message about this
virus.
I am forwarding this email to someone who
is an expert in the field. I don't know if he will contact
you------he might be just as disgusted with your information
as i am.
D ------- HCV positive ----- Not an STD!
