[Adam_W]

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if:

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

Well, she kinda has poofy hair.. she doesn't wear a tank top, but she does tend to wear jeans and cowboy boots.  She also has a pair of sunglasses with blue flashing lights on them.. every once in a while, she'll put them on, grab a couple of needle packages, and ask, "who's next?"  *LOL*

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if:

You go to dialysis in pajama pants... and you're not on nocturnal.

I do that alll the time... Montreal Canadian fleece pj pants

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if:

This is your nurse.

(From People of Walmart)

That kinda looks like the doctor who delivered my nephew...

[okarol]

LOL 

[Riki]

My bro and I were in the waiting room at Labor and Delivery, and we saw the doctor come in.  He was wearing the green scrubs, and these big rubber boots.  Bro looks at him and says, "you goin' fishin'?"  I don't think I ever laughed so hard.  Turns out that since rubber boots have grips that are made for slippery surfaces, they actually protect the doctor from slipping in the "mess" on the floor from the delivery.

[okarol]

Your local dialysis center also fixes cars.

[Iwannabean]

Paddle faster, I hear banjoes

[Riki]

You know you're a redneck dialysis patient when...

The nurses fix the tvs in the unit by giving them a whack..... (the Homer Simpson repair technique)

They also fix the controllers with duct tape

I seriously can't wait for the new unit to open...

[LarryG]

You might be a redneck if the guy next to you in the dialysis center ask for a sheet with a pointed hood on it to cover him up to stay warm.

[bleija]

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if you dialyze in your underwear

[bleija]

I've had this idea for ages maybe this makes me a redneck but why can't we have remote controls with our Baxter cyclers so you don't have to get out of bed to switch off  drain alarms?

i love this idea, but im pretty sure i would lose it

[Hazmat35]

If you are a redneck who claims to "like dialysis", you're lying through your tooth!     

That is FUNNY!  I think I just wet myself!!!! 

[big777bill]

 You might be a redneck dialysis patient if you had add on another trailer to yours to have enough room for the supplies.     

[iketchum]

You might be a redneck if you use a turkey call as a nurse call button. ( sorry, I have done this)

[mitchymitch]

You may be a red neck dialysis patient if you dialysis machine is green and yellow and has John Deere on the side, and the alarm is 'git'er dun' you may also be a redneck dialysis patient if your hope for a transplant is from your father, brother, uncle, nephew, grandad and son, and these are all the same person

[Adam_W]

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if...

The biomedical tech at your centre got hired straight from the local Quick Lube.
You power your machine with the power take-off on your old tractor.
You have a Confederate flag flying from your IV pole.

[KAF454]

If you've ever contemplated silencing cycler alarms with a shotgun...

[wvgirl]

Read these the other day, and thought of a few on the way to dialysis...
You might be a redneck dialysis patient if you have to drive 75 miles each way on a 2 lane crooked road through the hollers and hills.
You might be a redneck dialysis patient if you get a taco from Taco Bell after dialysis because where you come from there are no fast food restaurants..
Ah, speaking from experience.

[Riki]

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if you have to drive 75 miles each way on a 2 lane crooked road through the hollers and hills.

This could happen to some friends of mine if the government is successful in closing 2 of the 4 dialysis units in the province.  Yes, we're fighting this.  Try driving through those hills and hollers when the road is in desperate need of repair and covered with snow and ice, and it's dark at 4:30pm

[Hazmat35]

You might be a redneck dialysis paient if you tell you friends you have to go to dialysis and they think you are going on a trip to Dallas, Texas.

too funny!   

[Sydnee]

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if you save the claps from your used PD tubing to make a "pretty" wreath or garland for Christmas.

   

[Riki]

You might be a redneck if you use a turkey call as a nurse call button. ( sorry, I have done this)

Hey.. that's a good idea!  Would definitely get their attention..

You might be a redneck dialysis patient if you save the claps from your used PD tubing to make a "pretty" wreath or garland for Christmas.

I used to save the colored tops from the dineal bags and made chains.  No real reason for it, was just playing around with them.  The clamps would work for wreaths, too, I think.. but the sets I no real reason for it, got only had red, white, and blue clamps.. would be good for Independence day..
