Hard truth but if you dig facebook dialysis groups where they share info regarding home dialysis experiences you fill find many naysayers and those who returned to incenter due to bad experience at home and believe me, the numbers are high and wouldn't recommend to others.

Nephrologist: Were they dehydrated...or were they volume depleted?
Resident: So nephrobnoxious

Longest time on haemodialysis — 47 years and 363 days — was achieved by Jean-Pierre Gravel of Canada, in Montreal, Québec. It was verified on October 24, 2017, and he had begun dialysis back in October 1969.. I was born in 1969 and may break that record soon...

Why is it so hard to get a kidney transplant? Is it lack of donors or what? ANSWER: If patients not doing well on dialysis, not following diet, bad labs, not losing weight then it's harder, goes to the proactive type who are likely to care after kidney transplant.

The suspense is killing me…
“The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced today that it opened fifteen new investigations into potential race discrimination in medical school admissions. The Division recently announced its findings that the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) and Yale University both illegally used race in medical school admissions.”
Justice Department Expands Admissions Investigations into 15 Additional Medical Schools
“Many of America’s top medical schools appear more concerned about the demographics of their incoming classes than training students to succeed in the profession,” said @AAGDhillon. “Under this Justice Department, we will continue to protect American students from discriminatory and illegal preferences in admissions — especially in professions as critical as medicine, where quality of training should be the top priority.”

WHAT 🤯 A man in his 40s with inflammatory bowel disease, was assessed outside a Tim Hortons, offered MAID, AND driven by the DR to the assisted suicide facility, and killed by MAID 🤯
I honestly thought this headline was fake, but it’s real
