Grammy winning gospel singer Gary S. Paxton said on his website that after losing 80% of his blood due to bleeding ulcers he was rushed to the hospital and given 8 blood transfusions at least one of which was contaminated with Hepatitis C. On the same page called “Testimony” Paxton talks about the time he got shot 3 times in 1980 by a former business associate before being forced into bankruptcy by the FDIC while also praising god and discussing his history of drug use. He claims to have been committed to a mental institution twice with the first being for alcohol and the second being for drugs.
