Oklahoma News - Refers to Our Site

[Marcia]

Remember yesterday i posted this link:
http://www.channeloklahoma.com/news/9149441/detail.html where they had a segment on c diff. So i emailed them (Oklahoma news) and said this:
Subject: Thanks For Subject on Clostridium Difficile

I am impressed at the media attention this illness is getting. It seems
like not many people are aware of this deadly bacteria. I know i wasn't
until i was treated with Clindamycin for a tooth infection thus spent
almost 2 months bedridden from c diff. It's not a fun experience and i
can
tell you i will not forget it ever in my life. Although i have been ok
for
8 months now.... I pray everyday it does not come back to hunt me
again.
Thanks once again for the report. If you wish to know more about it,
come
visit the Clostridium Difficile Support Site:
http://cdiffsupport.com/phpBB/index.php

So they responded:

Thank you for e-mailing us about the C-diff story. The experts I
spoke with for the piece were adamant about the very real threat this
bacteria poses.

I'd like to speak with you as well about your experience. Would
you
mind either sending me or phone number or calling me directly? We're
planning some sort of follow-up story on C-diff and I'd love to get
your
perspective.

I look forward to speaking with you soon.

They left a phone number to reach but i wanted to ask permission the mods of this site if it's ok that i post the #. I am sure they will welcome anybody who is interested to tell their story. I did not make clear that i am in Oregon do not if it matters, perhaps anybody closer to Oklahoma they will be willing to follow up with.

Marcia,
Way to go. Sure, post the phone #. I'm sure their phones will be ringing "off the hook." We should all respond by phone or Email.

I did emailed him thanking him for his quick reply but he said me being in Oregon changed things a bit. So if you are close to Oklahoma pls try to reach him so they do not forget to follow up on the C Diff problem.
This is what he said:

Oh, you're in Oregon? Yeah, that changes things for us a bit.

In any event, thank you again for sharing your story and I do
plan to
check out the online C-diff support group link. I sincerely hope the
worst
of your fight against C-diff is far behind you. God bless.
