My name is Donnie.

I've been on dialysis for just over a year.  I'm a 66 year old male and I am retired.

I don't really trust the center I  attend.  And after reading the information I have gathered on this site, it appears my feelings are justified.  The company that owns my center has just paid an 82 million dollar fine for
paperwork irregularities.  I read that as FRAUD!

Welcome Donnie.  I'm so glad you found us. OMG 82 million?  It makes you wonder how a clinic that makes its money from Medicare and sick people even have 82 million and if it was fraud why are they still allowed to do it? 

Stick with us.

Hi Donnie and welcome to IHD!   :welcomesign;  Ditto to what Rerun said....and I can get on a HUGE soapbox about the medical industry in the US.  Glad you joined us.
