@#$%$#$^& Doctor!!!!

Another time when we are doing the educating the medical professionals should be doing!!!

And to make it worse ... when I am trying to tell other patients in my unit about all the great sites I know of and want them to visit I am told by the Renal social worker that I am NOT ALLOWED to post the poster because the unit says it will look like they are endorsing it 

The bad news is that I asked about other patients on home hemo. They only have one right now, and from the way she talked about him, he's been on home dialysis for a long time and they just took over his care when he switched from another center. They have 3 branches and are the only center available to cover a huge chunk of two or three local counties, and they only have a single patient doing it at home. Those are not good odds for me getting a NXStage thru my local center. Long distance training is looking more and more like a possibility. Hopefully, even if they can't do the actual training, I can work out some way to do my monthly return visits at the local center, and at least save some money in the long run.

Looks like you might have to be the one to push to get the ball rolling and start to make things better for ALL patients at your unit after you ... want to be a pioneer??

I'm pushing, I'm pushing! - but it feels more like this . . .
