Title: Who oversees dialysis care?
Post by: F_Farkell on May 21, 2007, 01:43:01 PM

I've had a few problems of late with staff.
I can't seem to get any help from the charge nurse or management.

So i am wondering if there is a governing body that oversees dialysis clinics?
Thanks in advance.

Fred

I usually write a letter to the head of the clinic. If  it is written they have to respond to it.  Good luck.

I don't know what to do. If i write a letter there will be repercussions. They were on my back for a year about getting a fistula. When i got one and scream in pain because the needle rests on the nerve i am treated like a leper. A man at my center was telling he wrote to the administrator and got on the s**t list. Now they treat him like he even isn't there. Of course not all centers are like this.
