RE: Hepatitis A, B, C, ... D? E?!

in #science7 years ago

Whenever I hear about hepatitis, it reminds me how I lost my energetic cousin. His condition was wrongly diagnosed as yellow fever and that was being treated. He was not responding to treatment, he was rushed off to another hospital where the correct diagnosis was made, but by then it was already too late. It was the chronic hepatitis B and his liver had failed. The hospital where he was, lacked the necessary equipment for a liver failure treatment and before he could be taken to the one with one that had, he died en route. The dad was furious and wanted to sue the first hospital. It was a terrible experience. I had been vaccinated against type A and B. Good, you brought the awareness here. Thanks.

Sort:  

Condolences for your loss Brother.
I too lost a friend to liver complication.
However, he drunk way too much.
So it is hard to realize he could have not met such a fate.
I would often dream of him and still do periodically.
There is no doubt a significance in that.
Also of significance, is you sharing your thoughts of your cousin.
It dignifies their existence and honors their essence.
May they be at peace and find grounding in our conscious.

Thanks, it was one of those time that the obvious was overlooked with a disastrous consequence.
