Im the patient that feels like crap with the high potassium that you've dragged back to the hospital for more blood tests and left sat on a hard chair in reception for 5 hours ! Yes that has been my day ! Nothing to eat and it was only when the receptionist saw how much i was shaking she made me a drink (about half hour before i was going home!) I, and im sure many other wish a 'renal nurse' could swap places with me for a while because i love the way they treat you , they can be a heartless bunch. Anyway my potassium results came back , down slightly , but according to them ,not good enough ! I never even got to see a doctor today ! Sent home with 'that' drink now to lower my potassium then back to do it all again on monday .Sorry crap day , crap results , crap treatment !

I know what you mean.  I feel more and more like a number than a human being.  Get 'em in, rack 'em up, weigh 'em, get 'em out.  Dialysis, doctors offices, hospitals, they're all the same.

All I can do is send yo a hug  :cuddle; and say I know what you mean, the same has happened to Dad so often, if he didn't have me to speak up for him I hate to think what may have happened sometimes, wish I was nearer and could come to support you, but it  shouldn't be necessary it should be part of their training to care for people!
