Thanks for your comment!
Absolut...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />Thanks for your comment!<br /><br />Absolutely dumb excuses for not mentioning PD! The infection bogey really deserves a separate post.<br /><br />About your dad's fistula, have you shown it to a vascular surgeon? I strongly recommend Dr. P. C. Gupta at Care. He is really very good.<br /><br />Send me an email in case I can help in any way.<br /><br />KamalKamal D Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671037449347982821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-173217290807354272010-05-15T09:10:29.890+05:302010-05-15T09:10:29.890+05:30I would have to agree with John. I asked my dad...I would have to agree with John. I asked my dad's doctor the same question - why is my dad on haemodialysis at the hospital when he could easily afford a PD machine(+nurse if needed) at home. i was given a ton of reasons including possibility of an infection, insufficient training facilities in Hyd - all of which were absolute bogus reasons IMHO.<br /><br />Apparently, PD is only recommended if regular haemodialysis is no longer feasible - which adds an unfortunate halo to PD that PD is used only for those that have no alternative.<br /><br />The most recent issue my dad now faces is a failed fistula and the doctors are searching for a good vein they could use. In all their mighty wisdom, the doctors at Apollo Hyd did not know what Kamal had in his arm for his dialysis and here i am researching through the net to see if I can find any more information on how that fistula procedure is to be done. <br /><br />Thank you Kamal for the very informative blog though and good luck in your Swiss trip - If you have seen "The Secret", you'll know its really easy to make that trip - all you have to do is ask :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-77514442653829212872010-05-14T14:09:15.794+05:302010-05-14T14:09:15.794+05:30I'll give you a very cynical clue why they don...I'll give you a very cynical clue why they don't mention PD - commissions from hemodialysis clinics they work with or profits form their own clinics.John Whttp://www.kidneydialysisnews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
