Turmoil of patient at risk of deadly brain disease after surgery at Swansea Hospital

[Beaaware]

Another terrible story in the papers about a patient who had eye surgery at the Singleton Hospital, Swansea and has been told in writing that she may now have been exposed to CJD/vCJD through possible contaminated instruments which were used on a previous patient, this previous patient has either gone onto develop CJD/vCJD or is considered high risk (but this must mean they are showing symptons for the alarm bells to be ringing).

here is the link to the news article:

PS I notice you dont disagree with what I said about it not having happened since the 70s or that it had only ever happened 6 times worldwide back then.

follyfoot, ok I'll name one victim Irhad Rizvo aged 23 years of age currently dying of vCJD in London suspected transmission through eye surgery, hope this helps.

'suspected' being the important word....

absolutely, and that is because human mad cows disease can be tranmsitted via several different routes, therefore almost impossible to be 100% accurate as to which route the transmission has infected the victim this is why the figures for CJD/vCJD deaths are inaccurate. One victim 'Grant Goodwin' who died from vCJD recently is not even on the national statistics, his father said that his son will never appear on them just because he was mv type, even though it is suspected that the transmission route was baby food. So as I have said the figures are inaccurate for deaths to date. Many victims could of been exposed through vaccines, surgical instruments, beef, gelatine, dental instruments, cosmetics, hormone growth treatment, organs transplants, donated blood, baby food, baby milk, IVF treatment.....................you see the list is endless and its all out there in the public domain.

beaaware can I ask why you're so interested in this subject? genuine question.

personal reasons

Okay.
