So does this mean we now have to genuflect when we see you  :sarcasm;

Seriously, congrats on your "15 minutes of fame!"

 ;D Not necessary to genuflect, just a kind word, like you sent will do....Actually- I think the whole video and article that accompanied it was to inform the public of the different modalities of dialysis and the choices patients have.
Besides, we were glad to do it.

Well done.  That video was so sweet.  And informative.  You covered a lot in a short interview, home hemo, living donor transplant and non living donor transplant.
