| INK3 User ID: 38549259  United States05/19/2013 07:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Maybe I just spend too long on GLP but I was admitted for a Day Bed proceedure this morning and amongs the usual questions re medication, if I wear glasses, dentures etc. was one question which I found a bit disconcerting to say the least. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 39013232 The question asked was 'Has anyone ever contacted you to tell you that you are at risk from the Human form of Mad Cow Disease.' Now I find this a bit worrying as a) We have been led to believe the Creutzfeld Jacob scare was over. b) Who are this group of people who are informing folk they may be at risk of developing it c) Which section of society is likely to be contacted? I was in hospital a year past January and was never asked that question and yet today, on the ward, everyone was asked. Apologies if I have spelling/Grammatical mistakes but I am recovering from the effects of Sedation That seems like a very odd question. When you get a chance ask them why they asked you that. BTW, hope you're feeling better. "When tyrants tremble in their fear, and hear their death knell ringing, When friends rejoice both far and near, how can I keep from singing" page7 |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 40098171 United Kingdom05/19/2013 07:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A friend of mine has been into hospital many times recently due to prostate problems, and I have been in for a hernia operation and a colonoscopy which was 5 visits in total. Neither of us have been asked this question on any of our admissions. My friend just said to me that when he was filling out the for, there was an "other" box, when he asked the nurse what it was for, she said, "that's for supplementary questions, and we don't have any for you." I think it could be specific to what you went into hospital for. Speedy recovery.  |

I think it could be specific to what you went into hospital for. Speedy recovery. Camera up and down. I have a lump/welling in the abdomen and pain. Doc thought it was a hernia but surgeon said no. They found a polyp and diverticulitis wich had caused narrowing. Because of the narrowing the couldn't finish the proceedure so I have to go back for more tests on the side where the lump is plus an MRI |

Heat sterilization doesn't kill the mad cow....... So the disease is being spread unknowingly. All surgical instruments in the uk should be disposable.... |

The simple reason is YOU ARE A COW, GOY!! I'll bet it was a Jewish doctor. I can't wait to hear what the cure or treatment is. The only cure for Mad Goy is death!!! |

Damn, grow a pair and speak up! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1313288 To find out if the patient has been contacted by a hospital or dentists about an infection risk from a former precedure. It is possible that Creutzfeld-Jacob patients underwent surgery in certain hospitals and they didn't take the necessary precautions because they found out later. All patients operated with the same instruments are at risk. OP certainly did have surgery before, hence the question. |
