Title: Anyone heard from Hemodoc?
Post by: MooseMom on October 28, 2015, 08:05:53 AM
I have neither heard nor seen anything of Hemodoc in well over a year or so.  Is anyone in touch with him?  If so, is he OK?

Thank you.

Dialysis: Home Dialysis - NxStage Users / Re: Time to End the Aluminum Crises
« on: April 16, 2015, 04:43:25 PM »
My aluminum last month was 7 after being undectable for several months on the bags. This month my aluminum level is now 8. My phosphorus is now much higher than normal which happened the last time NxStage poisoned me with aluminum. I am done with NxStage. I will be switching to the baby K as soon as possible. I have some choice words for this company which I am biting my tongue to contain. There is no acceptable level of aluminum and there is NO reason for any significant levels of aluminum with Purac able to supply sodium lactate for I fusion at less than 0.11 mcg/ liter. Obviously, NxStage is using a different provider for sodium lactate in both the bags and the SAKs. There is now no reason to try and avoid aluminum by using the bags. It is time to DUMP this horrible company making business decision to poison all of their patients with aluminum poisoning. Unbelievable!!

I have seen him post on occassion on Facebook - most recently in the Home Dialysis group that Dori Schatell runs.

... Just wondering: Did anything upset him here on IHD or did he "just move on" ?
Thanks from Kristina. :grouphug;

I didn't ask him, and he didn't mention any problem.
He did say he is enjoying spending time with his granddaughter!  :flower;

Still kicking, but thanks for the concern. I have my best job ever as Papa to my six year old granddaughter. They just had a sleepover last night and will see again on Sunday by God's grace. I fuss I have lost my appetite for political discussions.

Have a great night, God bless.
