Dragons are a source
of both delight and awe as they are so powerful and such a fantasy
creature. In Tibet they say that dragons only appear to certain
individuals and only then at certain times. They represent
'eloquent speech' in Tibetan tradition. In the Chinese Medical
system dragons are said to be represented by the liver in the anatomical
system and all the anger and resentments are stored in this organ.
Hepatitis C is a viral condition which may destroy the liver
by inflammation and progressing liver disease until a transplant or
end stage is reached. The dragon is used as the symbol for HCV.
The anecdote for anger and like emotions is to modify behavior, meditate
to remove stress and practice the art of eloquent speech.
Here is a prose
about the Dragon Of Hepatitis C.
I heard a story the
other day, the mean old Dragon had gone away,
but when I looked
what did I see? That dreaded Dragon staring at me.
I said, "Hey
Dragon, what is your fun?
He said, right off,
"Your liver is one"
"Well let me be
to live again or let me pass in peace,
for this virus you
are, is hurting me, I want some quick release."
The Dragon breathed
his fire as his eyes turned crimson red.
"I'll let you go
when I want to, and then you will be dead."
Moral: Get
tested for HCV today, you may have it and cannot tell as it lies
silently in the liver and destroys it without obvious symptoms until it
gets too late.
