I would have been 100% comfortable urging this man to get checked immediately. In the same way, I would urge anyone to get a check up for cancer or diabetes or multiple sclerosis, if they experience ANY revealing symptoms. Maybe this is why I do not have many lunch appointments lately ;-) Hi Ron,

BTW - we can't know if he needs treatment at this point. Yes it is a moral dilemna - that is why I was writing about it. I don't think I am agonising over it. And I realise later I did do the right thing - advised him to get tested without going OTT about it. uc, I didn't realise we had parted company over anything. I parted company with Martin because he very specifically broke agreements he made with me when I handed over the safe-keeping of the Forum. I felt personally betrayed by his behaviour to me and a number of other people. I have no knowledge of any Forums you might belong to (how would I know?) and have no view about what they are like, so I accept your point of view that it does a lot of good for a lot of people. Just when I think I am getting on in the real world someone points out it is only a movie - how about that then. Regards Ron Hi Uncertain

I don't know what I would do. Then again, I don't have HCV listed on my resume, either. Very courageous on your part. I think that would be a hard position to be in. I don’t know what I would do.
