Hepatitis C on Health Matters/UCTV

[mauilady]

I just watched a program on UCTV on the topic of HCV; it was refreshing to actually see an interview with someone who has the virus and has completed the Tx too---Stan Miller is another graduate of the class of 2007 (unless this was an older program...)  Anyway, here's the page; go the the Hepatis C link.

PS: I believe you can also watch the video on your computer.... I have dialup so those options aren't available to me.  :-(
