From the HCV Advocate Newsletter:
An endless waiting game
By Lindsey Cole
William Catt's life seems like an endless struggle, filled with ups and
downs, with no one there to help.
At the age of 17 he was taken to what was then Humber Memorial Hospital
in Toronto for an operation to help him cope with crones disease. It was
1976 and there was no screening test for donated blood.
Mr. Catt needed two pints of blood during the operation.
Little did he know the blood that was being filtered into his body was
tainted. He had no idea that years later he would be diagnosed with
hepatitis C and would be stuck in limbo waiting for money which he says
is rightfully his.
[...]
For now he continues to go to Toronto for B-12 shots as well as
hepatitis A and B vaccinations.
He continues to take upwards of 60 pills a day.
He continues to wait.
“Everyone seems to want to back out on me,” he says.
“There is no medication in the world that can cure Hep C. I'll live day
by day. I just want to get this over with.”
