HUG those nurses :)

People respond to incentives and since there are no incentives, they are not responding.

More individuals who were in need of a kidney transplant have died on the kidney transplant list have died than U.S. Military personnel who lost their lives in Vietnam. Now, we have over 100,000 people on the list who need a kidney and this list is ...

Never said that it did.

Have been hearing a number of complaints about workers in dialysis, harassing and assaulting dialysis patients. It is assault under the law to touch someone when they have asked you not to touch them. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2903.13 I have hear...

I would think that it would be much less stressful for the Nursing profession, your thoughts?

I have a graduate level education just as the majority of individuals on this board. I asked for an opinion, that is all. If you are in hip pocket of the drug company, at least be honest about it. Physicians and Nurses have a duty to the patient, ...

Believe it or not, many countries do not require or do not mandate a "helper." Having worked in public safety, I think it is overkill on Nocturnal Dialysis at a blood flow rate of 300. The Nursing staff at Indiana would agree with me. I understan...

Probably so, government needs to mind their own business.

Very good posts. The main reason that I went to home hemo is that I was very unhappy with In-Center dialysis, not enough dialysis. Many very unrealistic demands and standards. Too many that wanted to demand a standard that they were unwilling to l...

What is fair market value.... http://www.nature.com/ki/journal/v69/n6/full/5000262a.html#bib12

I am very glad to hear that :) Yes, I have been on that site. many times.

Erin: It is not worth your health. You might want to think about working in Home Dialysis, much less stressful. When I was on In-center, I did all of my care, along with the needle sticking. Yet, I was the only patient who did that routine. I eve...

Yes, many good posts. I remember when I left the county and I started to work in a retirement community. I dealt with some loser who worked there who thought I should have known the job after six days of training. Keep in mind, that I had a few ye...

Not worth your health.

First, they are not going to pull my military hair cut, but, a good point. Second, most on dialysis do not have those type of funds to pay market value for a hitman. As you can imagine, I and my fellow officers were threatened 24/7. Third, it depe...

If you want to watch something funny, Dialysis Reality TV.

Yes, Guttercat, you are totally correct, I could not agree more with your post. There are a number of IU academic physicians who think it is gene related. You cannot believe how many times I have been blamed for what has happened and most of my wei...

Jerome "The Bus" Bettis, top 5 rusher in NFL history. 5'11" 260. I was 6'2" 250, played sports year round, football, basketball, wrestling, baseball, and track. Was able to run 6 miles per day at the age of 20. Never smoked or drank. How do you...

For everyone's knowledge, I have very bad asthma, since my freshman year in high school, 31 years of asthma. I absolutely hate smoking..... Smoking on a treatment is a fire hazard, that is not something I would tolerate. One of the reasons that di...

So, we owe you lifetime employment? I have never, ever seen an industry where the customer is treated so badly. Residents in a retirement facility pay $4,000 for an apartment in a swanky facility and they are treated like gold. Hundreds of thousand...

If you think that is bad, wait until the artificial kidneys come out, it will be wonderful for us and you will be on the unemployment line.

Are you willing to be in the dialysis jail, every week?

Maybe if you offered compensation for giving a transplant, it would not be an issue. Why do third parties believe they have the right to make decisions for other adults?

They have to make the decision whether or not you like it or do not like it. We are adults, as such we are not your children.
