In China, Desperate Patients Smuggle Drugs. Or Make Their Own.

Lots of the people relying on self manufactured or imported drugs are diabetics and dialysis patients, one photo shows:
Fosbait 500 mg Tablet is used in the treatment of increased phosphate levels in blood. It is used in patients with kidney problems and on dialysis
illegally imported from India.

Transplant July 2017 from out of state deceased donor, waited three weeks the creatine to fall into expected range, dialysis December 2013 - July 2017.

That is sad - no excuse for that to be happening. People should nto suffer when there are know medicines to treat the patient.

That is absolutely crazy. The government did give in a little and offer comparable cost of treatment. The tennis ball is in his court. When it comes  to medicine who is not inconvenienced.
