Im not sure abt others but I can only speak for myself. My grandfather was a dialysis patient and I personally think it is the worst thing you could do to a person. You go to this place 3 times a week from 3-4 hrs a day and then you feel like crap for the rest of the day and half the next Then its time to go take another treatment. I Dont see how this form of treatment is evening help people. My grandfather was on dialysis a total of 2 years in the course of him going to the treatment center they was averaging abt 2 deaths a week. Well Eventually he was one of those 2 a week. And Every week we hear abt someone else from dialysis dying..I would never even try taking dialysis. yeah the doctors tell you these stories oh its for the better of your life but they dont tell you that when you taking the medicines you need to take when you on dialysis that it works against your heart so then guess what after a year or so you die of a heart attack...
