Glad you've gotten sorted out - what do you think of the new SeaTac Pavilion?
Whew, I'm glad that's straightened out. What an adventure (the kind you really don't want to have). Sounds like you have a good doctor who treats you with respect too.

I had gone there off and on since '95. I started going there when they still had a receptionist! So it's kind of hard for me to move on but the new one is beautiful and has a lot more room to help a lot more patients and also the training center. I like the scale that prints your weight out for you too but have noticed some of the patients are having trouble tearing off the paper because there isn't enough sticking out for them to grab hold of.

The state has approved the addition of 13 stations to the 12 stations transfered from Cascade. Over the next few years those stations will come on line to meet demand. The training center aka the Dialysis Academy is a unique resource. Not only does it allow new hires the opportunity to practice using the equipment (medic one, nurses and neph docs all rotate through training too), it provides surge capacity in an emergency. The whole center has a back up generator so if there was a problem with one of NKC's other units the Dialysis Academy stations could be quickly brought online. This is a regional resource. With all the hotels near by if there was a disaster in Portland or Boise or Juneau dialyzors could fly in and dialyze. Emergency dialysis surge capacity is missing from most regions. Do you use the loner laptops while you're at dialysis?
