Title: Hey, my name is Andrea
Post by: dea62 on March 02, 2007, 01:40:04 AM
I am health care worker,(borne in Croatia-moved to Canada 16 years ago)
 and week ago I was approached by patient
who's sister in Croatia (nice place to visit, but not to live in it) is on dialysis.
Before giving any advice, I feel obligated to do research- and you guys are
great. I learned a lot, and only thing that I can tell you- you are
lucky that you are getting professional care. Dialysis plus ignorance
and arrogance of medical staff is hard to deal with at the same time.

I have few questions and if you can help me, we can help not only one
person in Croatia, but few others that will get access to something useful.

Have a good day
Dea

Thank you for your warm welcome,

Last week I spent good amount of time on net, but last two days
I was only on your site. And that was courtesy of laryngitis- sick leave
for 3 days. I can't talk, but I can type....

Thank's again
