Those with negative mind set, tend to focus on everything negative. Most of the time we keep demystifying their wrong notions. By the time we answer their queries, they come with another set of questions ,most of them not v relevant. Many of them feel ‘Google’ is a better doctor.<br />Some times discussions need to be brief and precise to help the patients decide fast.<br />Dr Krishnannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-4684363954825060302024-03-03T21:57:57.136+05:302024-03-03T21:57:57.136+05:30Very well brought out Kamal.

In this care and support of family and friends is very important. <br /><br />One important point you mentioned is that people do need to research about the ailment and all the treatment options and way to handle the issues faced. Your blog is a beacon to others facing dailysis and CKD.

This post was in 2007. A lot has changed since then. Mailing lists have been replaced by Facebook and Whatsapp groups. I would strongly recommend the Kidney Warriors groups. They have both FB and WA. Here is the link to the KW FB group. You can get the WA group relevant to your city from there.<br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/thekidneywarriorsKamal D Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671037449347982821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-79804690231032154902024-02-29T15:07:10.666+05:302024-02-29T15:07:10.666+05:30Hi Kamal,
