Moose Jaw Resident Goes Through Kidney Dialysis In Front of Reporters
Submitted by Amit Pathania on Thu, 04/22/2010 - 14:46
A woman with a rare kidney disease went through dialysis right in front of reporters on Tuesday, as she put her demand before the Saskatchewan Party Government to reinstate the kidney transplant program that is based in Saskatoon.
Moose Jaw inhabitant, Stacy Simms stated that she wanted the Party members to see the process she goes through every two hours, because she had been awaiting for a transplant operation for her condition.
Although, there is a person who willingly wants to become her donor and that is none other than her father, Larry.
The problem that Stacy Simms has been facing is with the transplant operation she needs to undergo.
Since the time kidney transplant program has been shut from July 2009, she is one of the 106 Saskatchewan patients who have been waiting to get their turn of undergoing a transplant operation.
Simms seems to be frustrated now, as she stated that her life has come to a halt due to this condition. Her health is deteriorating with each passing day.
The Saskatchewan kidney transplant program was shut down in last summer, as one of the three surgeons had been suspended.
