Sounds like a group of retired Rockettes.

Dialistas

I suggested that first in I think 2003. I had just joined the Board of the aakp and was disappointed by their patient-ness. On D_S we used it for a while but it never really caught on - I think some people thought it was too militant like Sandinista but I took it - being in Seattle - from barista. I agree it is more poetic than dialyzor but it just never went anywhere. Dialyzor has a certain neutrality that I think appeals to medical professionals.

I'm open to suggestions but the term 'patient' is already defined in many people's mind and it usually involves compliance. I want a term that keeps the ball with the person on dialysis. I want a term that suggests a person accommodates kidney disease.
