    Hi John, and welcome to fixHepC! You have quite a story there!

    Here is a quick first answer – book an on-line appointment with Dr James Freeman on GP2U. He will give you the best possible medical advice and most probably advise you on the best way to source a generic treatment (most probably Sof+Led for Gt1a). I suspect that previous treatment failure on Vikerapak will not be an issue, but I am not a medical doctor. Dr James is now a world expert who you can trust unconditionally.

    Here’s the link: https://gp2u.com.au/

    Even if you do not see his name there, do not despair. He will no doubt add some appointment slots as soon as he is available.

    Your skirt?? Are sure you’re not half-english? ;)

    Q. In Scotland, what is worn under the kilt?

    A. Nothing. It’s all in perfect working order.

    Didn’t they do that to William Wallace??

    Contrary to popular belief, Scotland is not a part of England. William Wallace nearly succeeded in civilising the English and making England a part of Scotland. The English disemboweled him in gratitude. Since then, the rest is history…

    Yeah, me too. I used to get horrible bruises in my fingers from carrying those thin plastic disposable shopping bags that supermarkets give away. It was almost as if a vein had burst. Also, I used to get nose-bleeds every few weeks. It is now over 3 months since I had a problem with either. Strange coincidence? I think not!

    So an admin wanted to delete the original post by Jeff and leave the rest, but deleted the lot by mistake?
    Sorry this seems unlikely, given most of the posts referred back to the original $15 post, so taking out the original would just remove a valuable reference point.
    I think we should be told exactly what happened…whether it was related to Mike’s Texan joke, hehe, who did it etc, only a full disclosure will restore trust.

    Chapel, I am not an admin, I just used Google to see how the forum was set up. Here it is:

    DEFINE(‘_POST_ABOUT_DELETE’, ‘NOTES:
    -if you delete a Forum Thread (the first post in a thread) all children will be deleted as well!
    ..Consider blanking the post and poster’s name if only the contents should be removed..

    – All children of a deleted normal post will be moved up 1 rank in the thread hierarchy.’;);

    And here’s the link:

    https://github.com/Kunena/Kunena-1.5/blob/master/administrator/components/com_kunena/language/kunena.english.php

    So if a mod didn’t know about this, it would be very easy to whack an entire thread accidentally…

    Of course all the records should be digitally accessible! We should also have the option of getting all our records downloaded straight to our mobile device if we want, or to a medical card which we can hand to the doctor who needs it. This goes for our dental and optical records as well. And yet we still have to navigate these legacy systems, waiting for weeks for records to arrive where they are needed because somebody somewhere along the administrative chain went on holiday, or something.

    Hi DT, did you know that this is how it works already in France? Well, not the mobile phone part, but pretty much all the rest.

    French people have a little green card (“carte vitale”;), which is like a bank card, that they hand to their Dr on each visit. This gives the Dr immediate access to their record. They use the same card to pay for their medical costs in a clinic or blood-test lab. About 40% of the cost of any treatment is paid by the government. The rest by private insurance. But the two systems are completely linked together, and most French people choose to pay for the extra insurance cover. This means that they just flash their little green card and everything is automatically covered… This also explains why in France there is a pharmacy on just about every street corner.

    But the most amazing part (for us Brits) is that the clinic or laboratory sends the results to you, the patient, with the doctor or specialist in copy. So every French citizen can pull out a folder containing their own entire medical history…

    Probably way too brilliantly simple for it to ever catch on in the UK?

    I asked my French girlfriend how it could possibly be so easy? She told me the answer is simple. The French are world-experts in complaining about anything and everything that their government does for them…

    Yes, it seems the real facts are not in yet.

    Its no doubt perfectly normal for national customs agencies to inspect parcels from time to time. But did DHL and Fedex really just return the packages to sender?

    If this is the case, I can’t help feeling that if Gilead are behind it, it would be a major banana slip for them. Either way, major banana slip for DHL and Fedex… But if that really is the case, then of course as soon as it is proved, everyone should be contacting President Obama, Hilary Clinton, Senators Wyden and Grassley, CBS, etc. to really give this dirty washing some air-time…
