I just saw a news report on Dialysis that made it look like death sentence. It is not. I am currently on Dialysis and have been on and off my entire life. I started Dialysis when I was 9. The biggest thing is to follow the special diet they put you on.
There is fluid restrictions, no dairy, you can not eat anything with high phosphorus or hight potassium. I cut out most processed foods. I drink about 25ozes a day. This is because your healthy kidneys get rid of all that & the Dialysis machine can only pull off a small amount without taxing your body.
I drive myself to & from dialysis 3 days a week. I am on the machine for 3 hours. I was on 6 hours when I started, but because I am good at my dialysis diet my time was lowered.
It is a long wait for a transplant. I received a kidney from my dad when I was 10 , so I was only on Dialysis a year the first time. I went to the dentist before Jr high high and he was going to fix my teeth. I have no enamel due to medications. I had a tiny abscess that went to kidney & killed it within 24 hours.
I was on Dialysis 10 years after that before getting another kidney that lasted 23 years. By the way I went to school after or before Dialysis during that time. I graduated high school & started college. I think of Dialysis as more of an inconvenience than anything else. I sit there & watch TV. I would probably be doing that at home.
Dialysis is not painful. I have a great fistula that they do stick needles in but the skin is numb so you don't really feel it. I just relax and let it clean my blood.
Now if you choose not to follow the special diet you could have issues with high potassium which gives you terrible charlie horse cramps. I have seen people get them bad so for me it is worth giving up French fries & cheese.
I still take my dog for walks even right when I get home from dialysis. I seem to get a burst of energy right after. I can go on vacations, & just set up appointments at a dialysis center closest to where I am vacationing. If done right it makes you feel better.
The end goal is eventually another kidney transplant, or if I am really lucky I can try out the artificial kidney they are working on. That's my dream. But until that time dialysis is not a death sentence. It is just a way of life. To stay slive.

“My place next weekend?” Bucky poses as he peppers delicate kisses over your face. You scrunch your nose and let out a little squeal of glee that promotes him to continue his trail of kisses along your jaw and down the column of your neck.
The prospect of spending an entire week without seeing or touching Bucky seems like pure torture. You suspect Thor didn’t take kindly to you turning him down in favour of Bucky which has resulted in you covering the night shift for the next two weeks.
With Bucky still living with and taking care of his Ma recovering at home after being discharged from the surgical ward last week, and your now severely conflicting schedules, you know you won’t find the time to see each other until the following weekend.
You have to remind yourself that you only have to endure six days without him, not even a full week, but it’s the six nights attempting to fall asleep in an empty bed without his strong arms cuddling you into his broad, musky scented chest that you suspect will be more tormenting to endure.
“What have you got planned?” Your eyes narrow, trying to see if you can get any clues by reading his countenances. Unfortunately, all he does is smile, which gives away nothing except for the soft flutter of butterflies in your stomach that indicate how you enjoy being the cause of his happiness.
“You’ll just have to wait and see.” God he loves to tease, and as much as you adore him for it, having something specific to look forward to at the end of the week would actually be very helpful in surviving the week.
“Can it be next weekend already?” You whine between peppered kisses around your face. Bucky simply chuckles, but he feels your pain, he doesn’t want to have to endure the impending week without you either.
“I promise, the week will go by in a flash.”
But this one time, Bucky’s promise isn’t truthful.
The week feels like it’s moving through tar.
You’re awake when it’s pitch black outside and when you attempt to sleep at home, the sun is seeping through your curtains, almost mocking you that you can’t be outside enjoying it.
The night shift drags on more so than a regular day because you don’t have Wanda keeping you company, and you know that you won’t be able to steal glimpses of Bucky which normally sustain you throughout your shift.
You then come home and crash on an empty bed in a lonely apartment when most people are only just starting their day. Your mind can’t help but wonder what Bucky is doing at this very moment. Perhaps he’s making breakfast for his mom, and you smile thinking about them joking together over their cereal. Or maybe he’s having his morning shower, the hot water cascading over his toned body, his wet hair falling in front of his eyes as he washes his naked body.
Possibly thinking about you.
Maybe even touching himself to the thought of you being right there with him.
And that’s the image you manage to fall asleep thinking about and which enters your dreams.
The following day is no better. Sporadic messages from Bucky during his waking hours is the only contact you have with him, until it gets too late where his communication ceases altogether, under the assumption he finally fell asleep.
After driving home, and two and a half long days without seeing him, you’re desperate to hear his voice. Sadly, the only time you manage to hear it is when his voicemail instructs you to leave a message because you’ve missed him. At a very minimum he will be able to hear your voice if you leave a voicemail, so you decide to tell him about your day.
“Morning baby, I know you’re probably with your Ma, but I just finished my shift and I’m on my way home and I’d thought I’d see if I could catch you before I fall asleep. It was a tough one today, Mrs Stewart, that lovely lady on dialysis who read my cards, the one I told you about last week, she came into the ER again and passed away overnight. I organised for her daughters to come in to say goodbye, but it felt like such an injustice, she should have had more time and been able to meet her grandbaby. I wish I had been able to come home to a hug and kiss from you.” You take a short pause, trying to compose yourself. You’re a doctor, losing patients is part of the job description and just makes saving lives that more extraordinary, but it is always easier to cope when you have Bucky there to run you a bath and help wash the day off you.
You don’t get that privilege this week.
“How’s your Ma? I know you said the other day she was meeting all her goals so I’m sure she’s breaking all kinds of records and continuing to be a mischief maker just like her son is.” You let out a chuckle, thinking of your cheeky boyfriend and his even sassier mom interacting with each other makes you grin. “Two nights down, four more to go. Honestly the weekend can’t come soon enough, I already miss you and it’s only been two days! Oh also, I sent you some pictures overnight, I hope you enjoy getting to look through those before bed later, I think you’ll like them. Sending you kisses and dirty dreams. I hope we get to speak soon baby.”
You hang up feeling ever so slightly better. Even though you weren’t actually speaking with him directly, in some strange way you feel like you have.
When you wake up, a good eight hours later, feeling more exhausted than when you went to sleep, one of the notifications you’ve missed is a call from Bucky, and your heart flutters when you realise he’s also left you a long voicemail.
“Hey darling, it was so great hearing your voice just before starting my shift, I feel like my day is already brighter from just listening to you talk. I’m sorry to hear about your patient, she seemed like such a sweet lady. If I were with you I’d give you the biggest hug and kiss, you deserve them both. Just know you are an amazing doctor; and her daughters will be grateful that they got their chance to say goodbye.” There’s a long pause in the recording, so much so you think your phone has accidentally switched off, but then you hear his voice again. “Ma is doing so well, we’re getting out and doing some small walks around her neighbourhood. She’s friends with one of the lady’s down the end of the street and her poodle puppy, so her motivation to keep walking is to see little Millie and get puppy kisses. I have to take her to a follow-up appointment after work, so it might prove a little tricky finding a time to chat but hopefully I can catch you before your shift.”
Your heart sinks, after not actually getting to speak with him earlier today you had hoped this afternoon would be your best chance to do so. But as disappointed as you are, you don’t blame Bucky one bit - he has to take care of his mom, and seeing the relationship they share only makes you adore him even more.
“I had a sneak at those pictures earlier and you made me harder than a fucking rock looking like a wet dream in that lingerie set. You can guarantee I’ll be looking at those when I go to sleep tonight. I might just have to send you some audio of how much I enjoy them.” Excitement tingles down your spine and you salivate at the thought of hearing Bucky get off to pictures of you. That of all the people he’s ever been with, you’re the one he can’t get enough of. “I hope you’re resting up baby, you deserve it. I’m sure we’ll speak soon, and if not, I’m just gonna keep listening to your voicemail on repeat so I can hear your voice again.”
You listen to his message three times. Firstly, just to hear his voice, how elated he sounds speaking to your voicemail. Second, to actually take in what he said. And thirdly, to listen to the sound of his voice again.
The remainder of the week wouldn’t be such a drag now that you could listen to his voice any time you want.
* * *
After your shift ends on Saturday morning, you have a pep in your step as you exit the hospital, on your way straight to Bucky’s place.
You’re finally going to see him again and nothing, not even the wet weather that you drive through towards his apartment, will dampen that.
When he answers his door, there’s a moment's pause where you simply stare joyously at each other, as if trying to determine if this is actually real or something concocted in a dream.
Seeing Bucky’s gorgeous, smiling face after a week apart is like a breath of fresh air. After a week of suffocating, you could now take a long, deep breath, oxygenating all those cells in your body which had been crying out for him. By the achingly doting expression on his face, you are positive he has longed for this moment as much as you have.
Someone else would probably think you had spent months apart with how hurriedly you pull one another into a crushing embrace. Your arms fling around his neck, pulling him down to you, and he pulls your waist flush with his as he buries his face in your neck.
“I missed you.” You whisper in his ear, taking in the familiar scent of his eucalyptus shampoo and that musky scent which was just naturally Bucky.
“Not as much as I missed you.” He mumbles, pulling back so his lips can capture yours in a tender kiss. His lips are soft and meld against yours with languid motions.
You stay in each other's arms for a long moment, basking in the warmth of each other's embrace, letting the rest of the world melt away as you revel in the delight of being reunited.
With a kiss to your forehead, Bucky takes your hand and leads you inside, not wanting to be deficient of your touch for even a single second longer.
“I have something to show you.” He proclaims with a mischievous grin. You’re left to ponder what it might be as he doesn’t give you any hints, however, you don’t need to wait long for when he leads you through the doorway to his living space the surprise hits you square in the chest.
“Bucky…” Your jaw drops open and you’re left speechless.
His lounge room is lit up with candles, casting a soft, warm glow over the entire room and filling the air with a sweet vanilla fragrance. The couch and coffee table have been pushed to the back wall to make room for a makeshift bed of multiple blankets and pillows. A small projector sits at the foot of the ‘bed’, pointing at a now bare wall, the few pictures Bucky did have up now stored on the coffee table. To top it all off, rose petals have been scattered all around the room, with a bouquet of the same flowers tied up neatly in a pretty bow beside the bed which you can only assume is for you.
“You did all this for me?” You choke out, trying not to let your emotions get the best of you but the lump in your throat betraying you.
“I’d do anything for you.” He responds without hesitation. “I wanted to have a romantic weekend together after not seeing you for so long.”
He looks at you with such extreme fondness, like something precious he values and wants to keep safe, and you have no choice but to kiss him. Not soft and sweet like his was, but instead ardently, fiercely. As a ‘thank you’. As a ‘I missed you’. As a ‘I care about you beyond what words can describe’. As a ‘I need you right now’.
Your hands find his hair and pull lightly, in the way you know he likes and which helps you open him up to you so you can sweep your tongue in his mouth.
You’re in control of the kiss until Bucky manages to slip a large hand past the elastic of your pants, fingers finding the wet patch forming in your panties. Even the feel of his thick fingers through the material is enough to make you keen, and all of a sudden you’re putty in his hands as he takes charge.
“How long have you been this wet for me, darling?”
“All week.” You moan breathlessly as he runs his fingers through your soaking folds, making sure his thumb circles your clit with the just the right pressure he has come to know with experience makes your toes curl. “Jerking off to your pictures just isn’t the same.”
“You need the real thing, baby?” Bucky nips at your earlobe before sucking on your neck, the sensation making you dizzy with lust. You want him - no, need him, more than you’ve needed anyone before, more than you need to breathe.
“Yes, please.” You beg, hands reaching down to feel his hardening cock underneath the material of his sweatpants. His lips connect with yours again as you cup his balls through his pants, a gravelly grunt escaping his lips
“Lay down, darling.” Bucky instructs, his spare, strong hand running down your back to assist you falling backwards onto his provisional blanket bed. “I got you.” He promises as you let him hold your body weight, placing you down carefully and ensuring your head rests on one of the pillows.
Bucky cages you in, his muscular form and intoxicating scent consuming your vision and filling all your senses. His eyes are brimming with desire, observing you underneath him as if you are the most alluring sight he’s ever had the pleasure of gazing at, and it only makes the wet patch in your panties grow.
“Need you, James.” He smirks as his real name falls from your lips. Bucky knows you mean business when you use it, and though he loves to tease you, today is not the time for that, because as much as you need him, he needs you even more.
“I know baby, Imma take good care of you, make you feel so good.” Bucky coos before sliding down your body, pulling your slacks and underwear off in one go. “There’s my pretty pussy.” As soon as his plump lips suck on your sensitive bundle of nerves, you’re sent straight to heaven. Without giving you a moment to think about how almost painfully good he’s making you feel and how much you’ve missed the feel of his tongue swirling at your core, he’s slipped two fingers inside you, fervently stroking your velvety, fluttering walls.
“Shit, Buck. God, I’ve missed your mouth.” If you were with anyone but your precious Bucky, who you trust implicitly, you might be embarrassed by how quickly the band at the bottom of your stomach is tightening, ready to snap at any second. But you never feel self conscious when you’re with him - his utmost concern with your pleasure, ensuring you always feel safe and comfortable when you’re with him nourishes the trust you share.
You look down at Bucky between your legs still fully clothed, rutting into the blankets beneath him, as if he’s getting off on purely the taste of you. You swear you’ve never been with a partner who actually enjoys eating you out as much as Bucky does, rather than seeing it as a chore to get through so you’ll suck them off.
Through his long hair, strands of which have fallen in front of his face, his piercing blue eyes look up to find you watching him intently, overflowing pleasure etched on your features, whimpers and moans cascading from your mouth. This only spurs him on. With a smirk you can feel against your sensitive folds, his movements become more frantic, pushing you ever closer to your impending high.
“Make a mess on my face, darling.” His breath is hot against your centre, before diving right back in, tongue feverishly licking up every drop of arousal he himself is responsible for, as his fingers curl to find that spot inside you which makes you see stars.
“Buck- oh god, oh please, right there, fuck yes, yes, right there, don’t stop.” Your thighs squeeze around his head but it doesn’t slow him down. He’s been starving for a week and nothing, even not being able to breathe, is going to stop him from taking you over the edge of ecstasy.
And that’s exactly what he does. With a simultaneous thrust of his fingers and suction on your clit, you cum with a cry of his name, thighs quivering and toes curling as your back arches off the pile of blankets and pillows that are now in disarray.
“That’s my good girl.” He praises, continuing to pump his fingers inside you as his other hand frantically rubs your clit, prolonging your pleasure and causing your body to involuntary jerk as your orgasm fires through every cell in your body.
When you finally come down, completely out of breath and sweat beading on your brow, Bucky smirks at you in his signature, cheeky way where you can’t help a reciprocating smile blossoming in your own features.
“Now, let’s see how many times you can cum on this fat cock.”
* * *
“Bucky?” You mumble with a hoarse voice as your eyes blink open to the bright early afternoon sun streaming through the cracks in Bucky’s curtains, even though you can tell he’s tried to pull them across as far as they will go so you can sleep in mild darkness.
When you don’t get a response you turn over lazily, arm reaching out to the spot beside you on the makeshift bed only to find cool sheets and spare pillows. Your heart drops that even though you got to fall asleep beside Bucky, you haven’t been able to wake up beside him.
That moment of happiness and contentment as you both open your eyes in the morning, being the first thing you each see in the day, after being the last before falling asleep, as soft smiles spread simultaneously over both of your features, is a type of pure magic you don’t want to be deprived of once you’ve had a taste.
Hearing movement and faint sizzling coming from the adjacent kitchen, you pull Bucky’s discarded Henley over your naked form and, with a stifled yawn, shuffle towards your boyfriend.
You take a moment to lean on the doorframe and admire your burly boyfriend, shirtless, with grey sweatpants hanging low on his hips, long hair tied back from his face in a small bun as he pours batter onto a frypan.
You could get used to this.
The muscles of his bare back flex as you rest your cheek on his shoulder blade, your arms snaking around his toned midriff
“Did you sleep well?” He asks softly as the hand he’s not using covers your left hand, fingers naturally slotting between yours. One of your favourite things since officially becoming his girlfriend is how physically affectionate he’s become. He’ll make any excuse to hold your hand, to sling an arm around your shoulders or have you sitting in his lap.
The fact that he seeks out that contact with you, makes your heart flutter each time. Warmth blooms in your chest knowing you’re the only person he wants that affectionate, lovey-dovey connection with.
“Hmm I guess. Wanted to wake up next to you though.” Your arms tighten around his waist, as if to reflexively keep him close and prevent him from moving away as he had done while you were asleep.
“I’m sorry darling, our sleep schedules are just off at the moment.” You kiss a freckle on his shoulder blade, a silent recognition that you understand what he means and you aren’t upset. You observe a shiver running down his back at your soft kiss so you do it again with a smile, loving that you’re the one person who gets to elicit that kind of reaction from him.
“Watcha making?” You ask lazily, standing on your tiptoes so you can see above his shoulder to what he’s cooking in the frypan. The room smells delicious, like sugary sweetness and melting butter
“Pancakes. Figured we’d need some energy after what we did this morning.” He chuckles as you let out a little squeal of delight. No man has ever put the effort in to cook for you before, and now Bucky’s making one of your childhood favourites. “Plus, they’re one of the only things I can make well.”
“They almost look as yummy as you.” You flatter, poking him at the ticklish spot he has just above his hip which makes him squirm and giggle.
“You’ll have to make sure to save room for your dessert then.”
You fall into comfortable silence as you remain resting on his back and Bucky continues to cook the pancakes one at a time, treasuring the closeness given your separation over the past week, but not needing conversation to feel at ease with each other's presence.
“Are you gonna fall asleep on me again, huh?” Bucky’s voice pulls you away from the dark void of sleep you were falling into without realising.
“Maybe… you’re just so comfy.” You mumble, your tired lips barely articulating the words, but Bucky chuckles like he knows what you’ve said.
“Here…” He places the spatula down and before you know it, he’s grabbing you by the hips and lifting you onto the counter beside his stove. He stands between your legs, casually kissing you and hands smoothing over your bare thighs. In this moment it feels as though nothing can come between you, even the prospect of spending the rest of your career on the night shift. “My sweet girl.” He mumbles against your lips, hooking your legs around his waist, getting lost in the taste of you to the extent that he almost forgets about the batter cooking on the pan and has to frantically untangle himself from you to turn them before they burn.
Once the pancakes are done, Bucky serves them up on a plate for each of you and leads you back to the living room with your hand in his, only leaving you huddled in the blankets alone for a moment to go grab all the topping options he purchased specifically for this occasion.
You start eating your pancakes as Bucky fiddles to connect the projector, cursing under his breath when it doesn’t work. You tell him not to mind, because after finishing your pancakes, you’re interested in other activities that don’t involve watching a movie, and making use of the rest of the whipped cream Bucky bought.
Though the weekend will surely go by in a flash, you want to stay in the moment with him and enjoy every sweet and sinful second you get together.
* * *
Before you know it, Monday has come round again and you’re back on the night shift. Yes, the week without Bucky had been difficult and you didn’t like it one bit, but you made it through once, so you know you can do it again.
Besides, your weekend of indulgence certainly made up for the lonely nights and days without seeing him, so you’re using the prospect of a similar weekend as motivation to get through another gruelling week.
Early on in your shift, as you’re preparing to send a young man in for an x-ray of his possibly fractured wrist, a familiar voice calls your name as they approach the nurses desk.
“Buck?” Your heart starts beating frantically thinking something must be catastrophically wrong for him to be in the ER at this time of night. “Is everything okay? Is it your mom?” Your voice is shaky, but your concern isn’t reflected on his face.
If you weren’t in a state of panic, you would have realised that him being in his EMT uniform was an indication of the true reason he found himself inside the hospital, but you fail to notice that detail in the moment of anxiety.
“Darling, everything is fine.” He punctuates his reassurance with a sweet kiss, his large hands calmly cupping your face and savouring the feel of your lips against his. “I swapped shifts with someone on nights for the week. I didn’t want to have to go another whole week without seeing you or sleeping next to you.”
Surprise stuns you for a split second - Bucky changed to the night shift because he missed you that much last week. Your stomach does a flip at how thoughtful his gesture is.
“Or do you mean sleeping with me? Are you a little pussy drunk, Barnes?” You tease.
“Oh I’m most definitely pussy drunk. Pussy addicted even.” He affirms with his signature smirk. Warmth blooms in your chest at how shamelessly he’s into you - you have become accustomed to men’s ambiguous signals, their aversion to commitment, but with Bucky, as soon as you proclaimed yourself as his girlfriend, he’s been nothing but unabashedly yours.
“You really swapped the night shift just for me?” You ask, voice softer and more vulnerable now. No one has ever gone out of their way to inconvenience themselves for you before. Part of your brain can’t believe seeing you more is the only reason Bucky has made the switch. Surely he must have some ulterior motive?
“Of course I did.” He says with an amused lilt as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Your stomach tingles with something of devoted affection when you perceive no trace of deception in his features.
“What about your Ma?” You question, very appreciative of what Bucky has done but concerned he hasn’t thought it through the whole way.
“Steve offered to help out, and I can still see her before each shift in the afternoon and afterwards in the mornings.” He reassures with a smile that relieves any doubt you were feeling. “Spending time with you is important to me. No one makes me feel as happy and content as I do when I’m with you, so when the opportunity presented itself, of course I took it.”
Looking into his steel blue eyes, which regard you with a familiar warmth and devotion, your stomach clenches as the realisation hits you - you have something in this world you’re terrified to lose.
Perhaps his edges are a little jagged by his past, but Bucky makes you feel like you’re in the exact right place at the exact right time, that there’s no rush, nothing to run or hide from, that you are precisely where you’re meant to be.
And though you don’t tell him that you’re falling in love, you kiss him like you do.

"This year marks 60 years since the first kidney transplantation took place in Sweden, at a hospital called Serafimerlasarettet here in Stockholm. The surgery was performed by Professor Curt Franksson, who grew up in a small municipality two hours north of Stockholm, Ockelbo. And so did I, but 50 years later. Our shared history, Professor Franksson’s and mine, does not end there. Forty-five years after Franksson's first transplantation at Serafimerlasarettet, I found myself at the same hospital, on dialysis, waiting for a kidney transplant. Today, 15 years later, I am standing here, healthy, and happy with my father's kidney. The gratitude I feel towards those of you who dedicate your lives to improving opportunities for us patients is indescribable."
- An excerpt from Prince Daniel's opening speech at the European Renal Association Congress, 23rd May 2024

i’m currently in hemodialysis, manning my patient who was admitted weeks ago due to pleural effusion. she was supposed to be discharge today but she deferred because she wants to finish her dialysis this week before going home on saturday. she has improved so much. she can sleep comfortably in her bed now, compared to weeks ago where she could only take naps on her chair because she was really edematous (her extremities were really swollen). we are so happy for her when we found out this morning.
i can’t believe it’s our last day already! the last day! of november!! BYE ward! BYE OPD! i’m dreading the prison which is CCU (kidding). i don’t know what comes after, but i hope it’s smooth and good. i hope we help each other, celebrate each other’s wins, and survive the “outside” rotation in one piece. i’ll be spending my christmas and new year not with my family, but with my dutymates because we’ll be on duty on those dates. lol.
this month, what i’m proud of is that i learned alot on how to diagnose patients, especially in OPD. my clinical eye improved! on our last 3 days of OPD, i was so happy because my resident agreed with my diagnoses that they told me i’d pursue IM and someday become a rheumatologist because most cases i handled in OPD were rheuma cases. lol. i am getting better at making differential diagnoses as well. not great great, but i’m better. i’m happy.
last day. i can’t believe it. november just flashed by.

Heart Transplant Surgery: Exploring the Pinnacle of Cardiovascular Care
For those with end-stage heart disease, heart transplant surgery offers a second shot at life and is the ultimate in cardiovascular therapy. The process of selecting the ideal facility entails a careful assessment of the hospital's transplant program. Take into account elements including the transplant team's success rates, the accessibility of donor organs, and the quality of the post-transplant care offered. Heart transplant surgery is ensured to be thorough when a multidisciplinary team of cardiologists, surgeons, and rehabilitation specialists collaborates. Examine the hospital's track record, achievements, and patient endorsements to help you make an educated choice when seeking the best possible cardiac care.
Autism Treatment Hospitals: Tailoring Care to Unique Needs
Care for people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) must be customized to meet their individual needs. When searching for the finest hospital for autism treatment, give special consideration to establishments that use a multidisciplinary approach. Seek out medical facilities that employ licensed behavioral analysts, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and neurodevelopmental specialists. Consider whether evidence-based therapy, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), are available, and find out about family support services. Interact with medical professionals that value the patient-centered approach, creating a cooperative and encouraging atmosphere for people with autism and their families.
Conclusion
In the field of medicine, finding the optimal course of action requires a combination of dedication, investigation, and teamwork. Making educated judgments is crucial, whether you're looking for a shoulder surgeon, researching kidney dialysis centers, thinking about heart transplant surgery, or figuring out your options for treating autism. You can take control of your healthcare experience and make it exceptional for you by using patient testimonies, learning about hospital reputations, and interacting with medical personnel. Recall that the road to perfect health is paved with decisions made with information and a dedication to all-encompassing, patient-centered care.

hospital worker reacts! a self-indulgent list of the funniest thing from every episode of season 1 of House MD
for context im an admin worker specifically in outpatients, so my knowledge of american inpatient wards is minimal at best
LETS GO
s1e01: this is bc i work in australian public health, but the idea of tenure as something a doctor can achieve
s1e02: the sheer concept of consultants searching for an absconded patient. where are your wardies and security officers??
s1e03: these people are highly qualified specialists and theyre... running their own pathology tests. do they literally have not a single patient on the ward they could be seeing??
s1e04: this one is funny bc its true but cuddy making all the med students swab rooms for infection because "its not like theyre doing anything else"
s1e05: dr wilson is MARRIED? to a WOMAN??
s1e06: literally sooooo funny when they break into a house to investigate a patient's history. i cant even get my registrars to check their emails.
s1e07: patients will tell anyone their personal fucking business. like they tell me, the person literally just trying to book their appointment, about their parents dying or their domestic violence incidents. doctors returning those details with some deep meaningful life lesson? HAHAHAHA.
s1e08: this isnt funny but the woman getting snippy and aggressive about her sons treatment literally gave me anxiety palpitations its too accurate
s1e09: in this episode, chase schedules non-emergency neuro/vasc surgery for. later the same day. i am DYING to know what the theatre schedules and e-board look like at this hospital.
s1e10: this was just a good episode i guess nothing to say here. go rabies!
s1e11: genuinely cant believe its taken eleven episodes for someone to deck house. a nurse probably wouldve done it by now if nurses existed in this hospital for longer than 10 seconds at a time.
s1e12: wilson realising he cant go to the monster truck rally with house is genuinely the most heartwrenching acting of the show so far
s1e14: the way these people act about transplant lists is SO funny. i have minimal interaction with this so im gonna go ahead and assume every one of my dialysis kidney transplant patients went through something exactly this dramatic
s1e15: THEY BROUGHT A PIG ONTO THE WARD HHDNDMSMMFFMG
s1e16: the woman refusing surgery for her 30 pound tumour because. she doesn't want a cosmetic scar. ive had this exact conversation i think.
s1e17: house full on tortures a patients in this one. i once had a complaint filed against me because i told an inpatient her ultrasound had been rescheduled.
s1e18: looming spectre of privatised healthcare vs my personal dislike of house's actions FIGHT
s1e19: this is my favourite episode so far bc it has a bed manager as a character. "if she dies at least we'll have a bed free" is also something ive heard multiple times.
s1e20: nothing to say abt the plot but house and wilsons little freak relationship is giving me life tbqh
s1e21: the patients writing "not this leg" before a possible amputation made me v happy!! a case of truth being funny enough for television
s1e22: aaaand one last patient assault to round out the season! i just dont understand how he isnt physically in jail!
final verdict im obsessed with this show im gonna watch all three hundred seasons

The Convenience of Professionally Monitored Home Dialysis
Home dialysis gives a proscribed choice where patients can list their dialysis at supple periods. This keeps the patients happy and helps them visit the hospital less frequently. Patients use advanced dialyzer tools under the training and guidance of professionals. Home dialysis leads to less reliance on medicines and fewer restrictions on food.

Finding the Best Nephrologist in India for Your Needs
Kidney health is vital for overall well-being. When faced with a kidney condition, seeking the right specialist becomes crucial. Nephrologists are medical professionals trained in diagnosing and treating kidney diseases. If you’re looking for the best nephrologist in India, this blog serves as a guide to help you navigate your search effectively.
Why Choose the Right Nephrologist Matters
Nephrologists manage a wide spectrum of kidney ailments, from common issues like urinary tract infections (UTIs) to complex conditions like chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure. Having an experienced and qualified nephrologist on your side ensures you receive the most appropriate treatment plan and personalized care.
Here’s why choosing the right nephrologist is important:
Accurate Diagnosis: A skilled nephrologist can effectively diagnose the root cause of your kidney problem through a combination of tests and examinations. This lays the foundation for successful treatment.
Treatment Expertise: Depending on your specific condition, different treatment approaches may be necessary. The best nephrologist will have extensive knowledge of various treatment options, including medications, dialysis, and kidney transplantation.
Long-Term Management: Many kidney conditions require ongoing management. A nephrologist with experience in managing chronic kidney diseases can provide the necessary support and guidance to help you live a fulfilling life.
Factors to Consider When Searching for a Nephrologist
Several factors come into play when searching for the best nephrologist in India:
Qualifications and Experience: Look for a nephrologist who has completed their medical training and holds a valid Medical Council of India (MCI) registration. Experience in treating patients with similar conditions to yours is a plus.
Area of Specialization: Nephrologists may have sub-specialties within the field. If you have a specific kidney condition, consider finding a nephrologist with expertise in that area.
Hospital Affiliation: Hospitals with a dedicated nephrology department often have access to advanced technology and a multidisciplinary team to support patient care. Preethi Hospitals, Madurai, for example, boasts a well-equipped nephrology department with a team of experienced nephrologists and support staff.
Location and Accessibility: Consider the location of the nephrologist’s clinic or hospital in relation to your residence and travel feasibility, especially for regular consultations and follow-up appointments.
Communication Style: It’s essential to feel comfortable discussing your health concerns with your nephrologist. Choose a doctor who has a clear and empathetic communication style and is happy to address your questions.
Additional Resources for Finding a Nephrologist
Here are some resources that can help you find a nephrologist in India:
Online Directories: Many hospitals and medical institutions list their doctors online, including their qualifications and areas of expertise. Preethi Hospitals, Madurai, maintains a comprehensive doctor directory on its website.
Medical Associations: The Indian Society of Nephrology (ISN) website may have a directory of nephrologists across India.
Patient Reviews: Reading online patient reviews can offer valuable insights into a doctor’s bedside manner and overall patient experience. However, it’s important to remember that these reviews should not be the sole factor in your decision-making.
Conclusion
Finding the best nephrologist in India requires careful consideration of various factors. By prioritizing your needs and utilizing the resources available, you can make an informed choice and embark on a successful journey towards optimal kidney health. Remember, early diagnosis and proper management of kidney conditions are crucial for long-term well-being.

Massage for Chronic Kidney Disease: Supporting Comfort and Wellbeing
Introduction:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function over time. Individuals with CKD often experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms, including pain, fatigue, stress, anxiety, and depression. While medical interventions such as medication, dialysis, and transplantation are essential components of CKD management, complementary therapies like massage therapy offer additional support by addressing symptom burden and enhancing overall wellbeing. In this article, we will explore the role of massage in supporting comfort and wellbeing for individuals living with chronic kidney disease.광주출장안마
Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease:
Chronic kidney disease occurs when the kidneys are unable to adequately filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood, leading to the accumulation of toxins and fluid retention in the body. Common causes of CKD include diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and polycystic kidney disease. As CKD progresses, individuals may experience symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, swelling, nausea, itching, muscle cramps, and difficulty concentrating. CKD can also impact mental health, contributing to feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, and diminished quality of life.광주출장마사지
The Role of Massage in CKD Management:
Massage therapy offers a non-invasive and holistic approach to managing symptoms and promoting wellbeing in individuals with chronic kidney disease. The potential benefits of massage for CKD patients include:
Pain Management: Many individuals with CKD experience chronic pain, including musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, and visceral pain. Massage therapy can help alleviate pain by reducing muscle tension, releasing trigger points, and promoting the release of endorphins—the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. By targeting areas of pain and discomfort, massage therapy can provide relief and improve overall comfort for individuals with CKD.
Reduction of Edema: Edema, or swelling, is a common symptom of advanced CKD due to fluid retention and impaired kidney function. Massage therapy techniques such as lymphatic drainage massage and effleurage can help reduce edema by promoting lymphatic circulation and fluid mobilization. Gentle, rhythmic strokes applied in the direction of lymph flow can encourage the removal of excess fluid from tissues, resulting in decreased swelling and improved circulation.
Stress Reduction: Living with chronic kidney disease can be stressful, as individuals navigate medical appointments, treatment regimens, dietary restrictions, and lifestyle changes. Massage therapy promotes relaxation and reduces stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and lowering levels of cortisol—the body's primary stress hormone. Through soothing touch, gentle manipulation, and calming techniques, massage therapy can induce a state of deep relaxation, helping individuals with CKD manage stress and anxiety more effectively.
Improvement of Sleep Quality: Sleep disturbances are common in individuals with chronic kidney disease, with many experiencing insomnia, restless legs syndrome, or disrupted sleep patterns. Massage therapy can promote better sleep quality by reducing muscle tension, calming the nervous system, and facilitating relaxation before bedtime. By promoting restful sleep and improving sleep hygiene, massage therapy may help CKD patients feel more rested, rejuvenated, and energized during the day.
Enhancement of Mood and Wellbeing: Chronic kidney disease can take a toll on mental health, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, isolation, and diminished quality of life. Massage therapy promotes the release of serotonin and dopamine—the body's neurotransmitters associated with mood regulation and pleasure—leading to feelings of calm, happiness, and emotional balance. By providing a nurturing and supportive environment, massage therapy can improve mood, enhance emotional wellbeing, and foster a sense of connection and belonging for individuals with CKD.
Support for Symptom Management: In addition to pain, swelling, and emotional distress, individuals with chronic kidney disease may experience a range of symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, itching, and muscle cramps. Massage therapy can help alleviate these symptoms by addressing underlying causes such as poor circulation, fluid retention, and muscular tension. By promoting relaxation, improving circulation, and enhancing overall comfort, massage therapy can complement medical interventions and support symptom management in CKD patients.
Practical Considerations for Massage Therapy in CKD:
When considering massage therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for chronic kidney disease, it is essential to take into account the individual's medical history, stage of CKD, treatment regimen, and symptom profile. Here are some practical considerations for incorporating massage therapy into CKD management:
Consult with Healthcare Providers: Before starting massage therapy, individuals with chronic kidney disease should consult with their nephrologist or healthcare provider to ensure that massage is safe and appropriate for their condition. Healthcare providers can provide guidance on potential contraindications, precautions, and the suitability of massage therapy given the individual's overall health status and medical history.
Choose a Qualified Massage Therapist: Select a licensed and experienced massage therapist who has training and experience in working with individuals with chronic health conditions such as chronic kidney disease. The massage therapist should be knowledgeable about the condition, familiar with its symptoms and complications, and able to tailor the massage session to meet the individual's specific needs and goals.
Communicate Openly: Communication between the individual with chronic kidney disease and the massage therapist is essential to ensure a safe and effective treatment experience. Provide information about CKD symptoms, medication regimen, dietary restrictions, and any specific areas of concern or sensitivity. Offer feedback during the massage session regarding pressure, comfort level, and areas of focus to ensure that the treatment meets your needs and preferences.
Select Suitable Massage Techniques: Choose massage techniques that are gentle, soothing, and appropriate for individuals with chronic kidney disease. Avoid deep pressure or aggressive manipulation that may exacerbate discomfort or fluid retention. Techniques such as Swedish massage, lymphatic drainage massage, gentle stretching, and reflexology are generally well-tolerated and beneficial for individuals with CKD.

it's a truly minuscule population. trans people are already a small population, and less than 1% of trans people regret gender affirming care (2021). it's one of if not the lowest regret rates for surgical medical procedures.*
for comparison, a 2017 systemic review found that 1 in 7 surgery patients (14%) regret the surgical intervention. a full third of people who have gotten knee replacement surgery regret it. 24% of people regretted surgical treatment for prostate cancer. 21% of people in kidney failure regretted starting dialysis. without which they would have actually fully just died. in general, there is a higher chance of regretting any random surgery than gender affirming care. to the point that more kidney failure patients regret not dying from kidney failure than trans people regret their gender affirmation.
but let's key in on something here. it is not surprising that the lowest surgery regret rates accompany procedures that would be considered strange or undesirable and the highest rates of regret are with common & encouraged surgeries. knee replacement regret is high because ableism determines that a pain-free person with reduced mobility is less valuable than a mobile person in pain. regret for cancer treatment is high because cancer more commonly appears later in life, and many older people regret spending limited time in hospitals enduring uncomfortable medical treatments than living full lives with friends and loved ones in the time they have left.
in the systemic review, the surgery with the lowest regret rate is called a Colpocleisis, which is literally sewing the vagina shut to prevent vaginal prolapse. it's common among older women who are no longer sexually active (or are happy with just clitoral stimulation. the study forgets the clitoris exists. but i didn't.) only 6% regret rate on literally sewing your vagina shut. this is considered a very odd surgery for a woman, worse than a mastectomy. the people who do it despite this social stigma have likely thought deeply about the impact of the procedure on their life and body to make the best decision for themselves. next lowest regret rate was testicular cancer intervention (removal) at 10%, another surgical intervention considered odd or undesirable by current social mores that consider a man's testicles to be the site of his manhood through testosterone production. again, the people who chose to violate social expectations and seek the medical treatment best for themselves and themselves alone regret their decisions the least. we will see higher regret rates as transness is less stigmatized and the risk of transition becomes less socially risky. and that is a good thing.
every single decision carries the risk of regret. you could have incomplete information, you could be prioritizing unimportant variables, you could be straight up wrong. this is the reality of life. no adult seeking to be protected from regretting their own decisions is capable of making decisions for others. their fear of regret precludes them from making decisions on their own behalf. they have nothing to offer anyone else but a restriction of autonomy through denying themselves and other adults the dignity of risk required for autonomous decision-making.
*surgical focus because regret rates for less invasive treatments like hormone therapies are less studied.
I can’t help but think detransitioning is a form of self-harm for some of these “detrans females” swept up in the TERF movement. Some of them were never transgender at all, just exploring their gender and finding they didn’t like it. But some are genuinely miserable identifying as women and are continuing to harm themselves by forcing themselves into being something they can never truly be. I’ve never been detrans or bought into that ideology but I have denied myself gender affirming care as a form of self-harm. As in, I am still a man but I don’t think I deserve to receive the help I need to affirm that.

Peritoneal Dialysis Procedure at PACE Hospitals Hyderabad,India
PACE Hospitals is a leading provider of peritoneal dialysis (PD) services in Hyderabad, India. We offer both continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) to our patients.
PD is a type of dialysis that uses the lining of your abdomen (the peritoneum) to filter waste products and excess fluids from your blood. This is done by infusing a sterile solution called dialysate into your abdomen. The dialysate absorbs waste products and fluids from your blood and then drains out of your abdomen.
Types of Peritoneal Dialysis
There are two main types of PD:
Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD): This is the most common type of PD. With CAPD, you will exchange the dialysate solution manually four to five times a day.
Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD): With APD, a machine will exchange the dialysate solution for you. This can be done at night while you sleep, or during the day while you are at home or work.
Benefits of Peritoneal Dialysis
PD has several advantages over hemodialysis, another type of dialysis. These advantages include:
·More flexibility: You can do PD at home or work, and you can set your own schedule.
·More independence: You do not need to go to a dialysis center as often as you would with hemodialysis.
·More comfort: PD is a more comfortable treatment than hemodialysis.
Who is a Good Candidate for Peritoneal Dialysis?
PD is a good option for people who:
·Are not able to go to a dialysis center three times a week
·Have a strong support system to help them with their PD treatments
·Are able to follow instructions and are willing to learn how to do PD at home
·Are not too overweight
The Peritoneal Dialysis Procedure
The PD procedure is a simple and safe procedure. It is typically done in an outpatient setting.
During the procedure, a catheter will be inserted into your abdomen. The catheter is a thin, flexible tube that will be used to infuse and drain the dialysate solution.
Once the catheter is in place, you will be taught how to exchange the dialysate solution. This is a simple process that can be done at home.
Risks and Complications of Peritoneal Dialysis
PD is a safe and effective treatment for kidney failure. However, there are some risks and complications associated with PD, including:
·Infection: The catheter is a foreign object in your body, so there is a risk of infection.
·Peritonitis: This is an inflammation of the peritoneum.
·Hernias: These are bulges in the abdominal wall.
PACE Hospitals: Your Partner in Peritoneal Dialysis
PACE Hospitals is committed to providing our patients with the highest quality PD care. We have a team of experienced nephrologists and nurses who will work with you to develop a PD treatment plan that is right for you.
We also offer a variety of support services to help you manage your PD treatment, including:
·PD training: We will teach you how to exchange the dialysate solution and how to care for your catheter.
·Nutritional counseling: We will help you make healthy food choices to support your kidney health.
·Emotional support: We will provide you with resources to help you cope with the emotional challenges of kidney disease.
If you are considering PD, please contact PACE Hospitals today to schedule a consultation. We will be happy to answer your questions and help you determine if PD is right for you.

What is the cure for kidney disease?
The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution is a "multi-function, step-by-step program that gives you everything you need to reverse your kidney disease, improve kidney function, and protect your kidneys from further damage so you can avoid dialysis and transplant."

About Who Made It
Duncan Capicchiano and his wife, Fiona Chin, both from Melbourne, Australia, wrote The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution together. They are both fully trained Naturopaths, and together they started a leading health hospital in Melbourne where over 13 herbal fitness therapists work together to help hundreds of patients reach their goals. Duncan has an advanced diploma in naturopathy from the Australian College of Natural Medicine. He also has diplomas and training in nutrition and herbal medicine, craniosacral therapy, homeopathy, and kinesiology. Duncan and his wife Fiona first set up this treatment plan to help Fiona's grandmother, who had stage 4 renal disease and was told that dialysis was her best option. After reading a lot of peer-reviewed journals, clinical trials, and other clinical literature, they worked hard to make an all-natural application that miraculously helped Fiona's grandmother in just 12 weeks. 6 months into their treatment, her condition greatly improved, going from level 4 to level 1, and she went on to live 10 more happy years before dying of heart failure in 2017. Since 2008, The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution has helped more than 25,000 people around the world. They are always under pressure from western pharmaceutical companies that want to close down their hospital. The only thing that keeps them going is the growing support from their successful patients and their families. The kidney is one of the most important organs for living a healthy, happy life. It keeps track of everything you eat and drink and does many other things to keep your body in balance. Anyone who has dealt with kidney disease knows that it can affect a person's quality of life. And if your kidneys stop working, it's a very bad situation. So, there are a lot of different ways to treat kidney disease.

It is a natural way to get your body to use its own healing mechanisms to fix your kidneys.
The Chronic Kidney Disease Solution Review: Does Duncan Capicchiano's EBook Really Help?

When a member of his family developed sudden kidney failure, he made it his life's work to find a way to cure it without dialysis or other harmful treatments.
