No, this is solid, factual reporting on the nature of the disease in question.
While there are several different genotypes of the Hep C virus, the vast majority of patients in the US have genotype 1, which is also the most resistant to treatment. One medical marker for Hep C is elevated liver
enzymes. (ALT and AST) A patient whose enzymes tested normal prior to
a procedure at the clinic and was found to have Hep C plus elevated enzymes after the procedure would have a better case against the clinic.

The doctors and staff deserve all the punishment they receive, but the reporters are correct in their assessment of the medical/legal situation in
my opinion, and I have 15 years of experience with the disease.
