Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Hepatitis / February 2006Need Some Famous People
I'm helping an inmate write an article about HCV for their newsletter. We're trying to come up with the names of famous people who had/have HCV to demonstrate that it's no respector of persons or social position. So far, we've got Pamela Anderson, Mickey Mantle, Evel Knievel, David Crosby, Papa John Phillips, and Alan Ginsberg (like they'll know who he is). I remember reading about a Prime minister of Canada who underwent treatment but can't remember his name. Does anyone have a famous name to add to the list? The more varied, the better. > I'm helping an inmate write an article about HCV for their newsletter. > We're trying to come up with the names of famous people who had/have HCV to [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > remember his name.

I think his handlers finally banned him from public speaking after a couple of (hilarious if you know riba) outbursts. Spidey > Oh yeah, and he was hell on wheels on riba!

An old friend, well connected in Canadian politics, shared some stories with me. On one occasion, the audience thought he might be drunk because of his ranting and stumbling around on stage (tx side-effects), but when a couple of guys escorted him off stage, without any explanation, they removed all doubt. Another time he almost caused an international incident with a racial slur. Lastman's a bit of a loose canon even without the riba, but you have to admire his spirit. > I'm helping an inmate write an article about HCV for their newsletter. > We're trying to come up with the names of famous people who had/have HCV [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > but can't remember his name.

The title will be "Am I At Risk?" and the opening line will be something like, "What do a baseball legend, a porn star, a teacher, a rock musician, a convict, and a police chief all have in common?" There is a lot of ignorance and fear among the inmates regarding HCV. She's hoping she can overcome some of that. >> I'm helping an inmate write an article about HCV for their newsletter. >> We're trying to come up with the names of famous people who had/have HCV [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > There is a lot of ignorance and fear among the inmates regarding HCV. > She's hoping she can overcome some of that. Thip, is there any way that I could get a copy of the article, or better yet the entire newsletter? I'd be interested (from a professional and a personal point of view) in seeing and inmates' newsletter; I collect publications (how weird is that?). On a related note, have you ever thought of writing something for their newsletter? I'll bet they'd all appreciate it. Here's how I'd write the opening... "The Dragon Doesn't Play Favorites" What does porn star Linda Lovelace have in common with beach babe Pamela Anderson? What does ZZ Top's Dusty Hill have in common with country crooner Freddy Fender? What does a mayor have in common with a car thief and what does a convict have in common with a guard at (this institution)? That would be a fun article to write! Really, if you're into writing, even the most unpleasant situations can be an outlet for creativity, and that's play for the mind. Yeah, just met a new neighbour today, he moved in down the end of the road. He's got the wickededest pot..... <g> You take care... play a bit.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Spidey I don't think I'd be allowed to contribute to an inmate newsletter. That crosses the invisible line into having dealings with them. This particular newsletter is being put out by the faith and character based dorm, and the inmate who's writing the article is one of the first ones I ever counseled when she came to me and told me she had HCV (she's doing tx now). It WOULD be fun to write though! I'll see about getting my hands on a copy of the newsletter. If I do, I'll let you know. >> On a related note, have you ever thought of writing something for their >> newsletter? I'll bet they'd all appreciate it. [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > I'll let you know. > Tanks, Tipper! |
