I took my Elderly Aunt to Dialysis three times a week for a Year. She was Blind, so I stayed with her while she was getting Treatment which lasted three to four Hours.
The Staffing Numbers they are coming up for what they consider proper Care are ridiculous.
Appointments are setup to maximize use of the very expensive Equipment and most of the time the schedule was met without delay.
The Machines Recycle after each Patient. The “Filters”, are not shared and the Tubes used to hook up the Patient to the Machine are new and thrown out after the Treatment ends.
There is always room for improvement, but the Dialysis Centers already have to meet certain Patient Health levels or risk not being paid for their services, even for those Patients that do not follow Diet and Lifestyle Protocol for their own care.
My hatred of Government grows every day.
SEIU is behind it, and I can assure you from having seen them operate in the healthcare arena, they are pure and unmitigated evil.
