I am frustrated with my Davita. I tried for 3 weeks to get a chest x-ray and pnemenonia shot for my transplant work-up. I finally went to my family doctor and got it done in 2 days. They probably don't won't to lose my medicare money. They also are taking carnitor off their list of medications, it has helped me a lot. I was told there was no scientific evidence it helps. Of cource they won't admit it the cost.

Been on dialysis 3 years. Had a transplant that lasted 22 years. Didn't have any problems with medications. Antibodoes built up and rejected it, they have new meds, for that now. Back on the list. Living day to day.

Davita as your dialysis center does not have to work your transplant up, YOU DO! I have never had the center make an appointment for anything for me or even volunteer to do it.
