newspaper story on dialysis
« Sent to: wiredwilly on: July 09, 2009, 09:22:08 AM »     

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi there,

I am a medical newspaper reporter in Pittsburgh PA working on a story about kidney disease and dialysis. I read your post and thought perhaps you could help me out. I am trying to talk to people about their experiences on dialysis and how familiar they are with treatment options. I would love to speak with you about your case, so I would appreciate if you can e-mail or call me. I can then tell you more about my story.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

I have not received such an email, but I do remember this person posting in the intro section about a month ago. Perhaps you could look for his post if you want more information. Let us know how it goes if you contact him!

I got one and e-mailed him back, but haven't gotten a response since.  The e-mail he lists is the same one that shows up on the newspapers website, and he's got a bio on there as well, so I'm pretty sure it's legit.

I received one as well and answered back, but haven't received a response either.

I spoke with him on the phone sometime in June. I read a few of his stories on liver transplants.
