Even with the mandatory vaccination?

Maybe getting rid of the Gamma globulin vaccine wasn't such a smart thing?

I assumed the same, but i can't find anything my records to indicate Hep-A vaccination prior to deployment.

Explains the epidemic that spread through our FOB; symptoms perfectly describe the worse of Hep-A, and Asia is a breeding ground for those types of viruses.

Really freaked me out when I got my blood work done in June because my doc suspected I had Hep-A due to high liver enzymes, and a week later the outbreak started.

But she confirmed my suspicions that it was likely my diet, though I did contract the virus sometime previously , hence my suspicion of what happened in Afghanistan.

What's the worse thing they can do if you don't pay? Repossession?

Sometimes the problem is just a chemical imbalance that occurs naturally. Not everyone's body operates according to spec!

So I assume they gave you meds to resolve the chemical imbalance or deficiency and everything healed themselves? Were you taken off the meds?

they repossessed my gall bladder

Like Q I had high liver enzymes as a cue to something wrong with my liver. I had a fever of 104 for about 2.5 weeks and my primary doc couldn't find a reason till they drew blood.

I admit is was scary. How was I supposed to pay for all this ? (I'm Chinese)
Then my tending Dr. put it bluntly, "Did you want to see a priest or something? - you know last rites" They couldn't find a reason(s) why my liver and kidneys were failing. I don't do drugs nor drink - maybe I should've?! Then it dawned on me that I may not have to pay for all this if things went THAT way.
