My Dialysis Experience
My name is Charles Griffin, I have been a dialysis patient for 7 years.
I’ve been to 6 different clinics. (3 Davita, 2 Fresenius and 1 US Renal).
Problems I Have Experienced :
- Needles put in upside downThis can tear Fistula and keep your blood from getting clean.
- Retaliation by staff for complaining.Being “accidentally” kicked and having feet stepped on,
-
- Blood and Saline squirted on me and
-
- Canceling my transportation.
- Frequent bleed outsAllowing my blood to spill on the floor from improper patch placement or removal of needles, making me feel weak due to blood lost.
- Staff cutting my treatment shortStaff will want to go home early so they pull 5 kilos in 2 hours cutting my treatment short. This causes
-
-
- painful cramps,
-
-
-
- drops my blood pressure and
-
-
-
- dizzy spells.
-
- Over worked staffThe Staff is tired, moody, careless and makes mistakes. They work too many hours and too many days in a row.
-
- Some staff work at multiple clinics. For example, they will work 12 hours Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Davita, then 12 hours Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at Fresenius.
-
- Also Staff to patient ratio is too LOW.
