Title: Hello from Cleveland!
Post by: kkaplan on August 11, 2009, 01:55:07 PM

Hello, I'm a social worker and I've worked for two different dialysis companies for a total of over five years. I rarely have problems with patients, but my current company drives me crazy. For the past few years I've been reading the ihatedialysis board and I have found it very enlightening.

Thanks

 :welcomesign;   I'm a former social worker who also has a long personal relationship with ESRD.  I live in Canada, not the US, but no matter where we live, your input on patient/social worker interactions will be most welcome.
Glad you joined us and hope you'll post often.

Welcome!  :waving;

I'm fairly new here too, (and from around the Cleveland area! ;D) and just wanted to say glad you joined us here! I was previously a dialysis tech and my company sometimes drove me nuts also, I completely understand where you're coming from!

Welcome to our community!  As others have said, this is the place for anyone who has any connection whatsoever to this renal challenge.  I especially like it when workers in the industry join us.  Just keep reading and keep posting.
