Well, on PD mine goes into a jug, which I then empty.  You raise a good question, though.  Where does the hemo fluid go?????

Dialysis' dirty little secret is that once it is drained behind the machine it is collected into individual jugs underground.  The government believes that since they pay for our Dialysis care that they get to keep whatever we produce.  They collect our DNA from each filtration and are creating a clone army to take on the public once the economy crumbles and anarchy ensues.

What they don't know is all my clone will want to do is watch Star Trek movies and eat BLT's so I'll be no use to them.

P.S...There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

Well they do have a wine flavored kit kat bar. It comes in a wooden box, but cost $195 the last time I looed. They had a whole page of kit kat flavors in japan that could be bought.
