“The mistake put his “future renal function in jeopardy””
That’s a bit of understatement, one kidney and you can have pretty good renal function, no kidneys. I suspect dialysis would be inconvenient.
"Inconvenient" is an understatement. My first wife was on dialysis the last five years of her life. The only good thing I can say about it is that it gave her an additional five years. Thank God for small favors, or something.
