Yes, I got it from a blood transfusion when I was a child. The Hepatitis C virus wasn't identified until 1989, and blood bank wasn't wide spread until early 1990s, so anyone who received a blood transfusion before then is at risk.
From the 70's to the 80's the medical community thought it was a good idea to mix blood from hundreds of donors and then use in transfusions.
That ended up killing nearly all of the hemophiliacs of that era, plus a good percentage of moms giving birth. Add in Hep C, and hospitals were basically butcher shops.
I followed the AIDS and hemophilia crisis in the press in real-time from the first one-column-inch Kapsoi Sarcoma stories. Boy, it wasn't pretty how the medical community reacted in slow motion.
There's an utterly horrifying Canadian movie about this.
This wording is a little ambiguous because "catch" can mean both diagnoses and the point of infection. So I read that as you were infected by hep c during a cosmetic medical procedure.
One of the symptoms though is that eating fava beans can kill you. I basically ate a bunch of these beans and soon went into shock. I was rushed to the hospital but the doctors couldn't make an accurate diagnoses. It was kinda like an episode of House, except with just regular doctors. They knew I had acute hemolysis but didn't know what was causing it. Then a nurse suggested that a blood transfusion can fight the hemolysis even without knowing the root cause; that blood transfusion saved my life. It was much later that the doctors found the G6PD; turns out my great-grandmother had it too.
That's another thing: your doctor should be informed of every major medical issue that your genetically-related family members has, since it could potentially help their diagnoses. From genetic conditions, to even common stuff like high blood pressure and diabetes.
