Judge Elder, I love your show now, and when I first saw it I felt yuck. Listen I work in the health field and you had a couple on May 16,01 where the fiance was upset because her boyfriend didn't tell her he had hep c.Well I agreed he was wrong not to discuss the issue but I felt you could have used the topic to teach while you had the audience. Not make the man and anyone else who is diagnosed feel like they have the plague. This is a very serious disease that effects the liver and so many cases are evolving because before 1990 there were no means to test for this disease and alot... of people had blood transfusions back then as well as organ donations, tatoos, and of course IV drug use. We are screening blood more carefully now but there are over 4million people already
infected. This includes doctors, judges surgeons babies and anyone else you can think of. It also includes all of the individuals in the entertainment field who used cocaine as a source of getting high because the straw can cause bleeding to the mucosa.Sex is rarely a form of transmission if you're not dealing with high risk company.Keep up the good work but please use your show as a teaching tool when you get the chance, it'll help people be more honest about whatever if they aren't dogged out for a disease 85% of people get by accidental blood contamination.
