...you talk endlessly, to every individual within earshot, about the $20 Wal-Mart Thanksgiving Meal Special.  You tell the nurse.  You scream across the clinic to the charge nurse.  You blabber to the PCT endlessly.

After two treatments, I had to request never to be seated next to this guy again.  The world would be much more pleasant without rednecks.

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if...

     You only go to the dump when you have enough dialysate solution boxes to fill up the pickup.

     You share the dialysis room with a cow and a milking machine.

     Your fistula surgery is only done when it's shown on The Learning Channel.

In San Antonio, TX you will occasionally see the fur on the dash, but it's not from the rednecks.   :shy;

The rednecks have the gun racks and sometimes antlers mounted on the hood of the truck.   :D

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if when you finally get the call after waiting years, you pass on this kidney because you got a turkey in the fryer and beer in the cooler... :beer1;

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if:

Your NxStage is worth more than the pickup truck you carry it in.

You use bread twisters instead of clamps on your lines.

Your old car is now considered the main storage unit for your PD supplies.

You can burp loud enough to call the tech at your center.

Your charge nurse has poofy hair, a tank top, tight jeans and is wearing cowboy boots... at work.
