So, the CDC wants all of the "baby boom" generation tested for hepatitis C, in a move reminiscent of school teachers who punish the whole class for the misbehavior of the few. I was planning on simply refusing the test, should our doctor suggest it, but now I have a better answer.
The Big Red Bus was at our church today, so we hopped on and donated, after the Eucharist. (Blood in, blood out.) As it happens, testing for hepatitis C is part of the "mini-physical" you get when you donate blood. Now if the doctor asks, I can say, "been there, done that." Several times over, as a matter of fact.
