:beer1; :beer1; Hi all, I am a biomedical technician in the midwest working for the big D.  I have been working on medical equipment for over 13 years, 1 and a half for "D"  Saw this site posted in another forum, thought it would be good to hear from the other side of the machine.

:welcomesign;  Glad to have you here.  Great to have perspective from the other side.  :2thumbsup;

If your center has a home program using NxStage please post in those threads.  I'm trying to learn all I can before my husband starts dialysis.

Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been.
