Ralstonite Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Did anybody watch this? It was a morbidly fascinating documentary about the HIV crisis in Edinburgh in the 1980s. The programme's still available on the BBC's iplayer if anybody's interested: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c17f Quote Raymond found out he was HIV positive. He came home and told Gilbertson everyone he’d slept with or taken drugs with had to be tested. He became sick and was admitted to the City Hospital’s Aids ward. “What is an Aids death like? It’s terrifying; medieval,” Gilbertson says. “They wore those full suits like you see in films about Ebola. Raymond was very unwell. He got tumours in his brain, he went blind, he was convulsing.” source: https://www.scotsman.com/health/glasgow-fights-same-battles-decades-after-edinburgh-s-hiv-epidemic-1-5054995 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
