Debbie's Story
(by Debbie)
 

Hello my name is Debbie and I am 43 years old.  I have been a nurse for over 10 years and a good one at that.  I recently was hit in face by an object thrown by a physician.  It was covered in blood therefore, I got a patients blood in my eyes, nose and mouth.  The hospital refused to test me to start with but with my insistence and a letter from my attorney they agreed.  I am Hep C positive.  I am about to start treatment and wouldn't have ever believed how this has destroyed my beautiful life.

I am currently pursuing this legally but need help.  If there is anyone out there that has had anything similar in the medical field with a physician, coworker, etc... please let me know.  This hospital and physician are refusing to help me with costs and they are very high as you know.  I feel like I am living on death row and I want to share my feeling with this physician for what he has done to me and my family.  No one should have to go through this. Thanks so much for listening and any help.
Deb
