Yup. Me too.

And my hubby had blood work done a couple weeks ago and now the doctor is doing follow up tests for hep due to *his* liver counts being off. He kept saying, "That's ridiculous, how would I have gotten Hep?"

So I'm a bit more concerned than I would be otherwise.

I'm in shock. What 6th grader doesn't know the effects of "a dirty needle"????

I'm the one who had a procedure at the endoscopy center. Hubby just coincidentally turned up w/ liver issues last week. Given that, I'm not going to wait for the letter, I'm going to call my GP this morning... I could have gotten it during the procedure and passed it to hubby.

I wish you and yours well. Very hard to believe a "dirty needle" can be the culprit in 2008. By the way, June to September of 2007, is the crucial time.
