Does it make me a bad person because I carried intestinal parasites for many years because I was too embarrassed to seek treatment?
Why was it embarrassing to seek help?
I was too embarrassed to tell family and friends about it.
I can see how that would be embarrassing, but it is a medical emergency and you need to seek treatment right away. You can't be embarrassed anymore when you're dead.
I guess you are right.
You don't even really need to tell family and friends you just need to talk to a doctor and they won't tell anyone else.
