It is still strange that GPs agree to monitor us, but the Hepatoligists refuse.

I thought that it could be the opposit.

Hi Dan, well if you consider many Hepatologists are advisers to big pharma, many may have conflicts of interest.
Big pharma seem to be rather clever regarding this matter. Of course, Hepatologists are needed to advise, no doubt some are advising for absolutely the right reasons, but it can create a conflict of interest. eg Many HepC charities are also sponsored the same way.
