Professional dialysis recruitment
I was sitting inside the dialysis unit at NephroPlus doing my work at the nursing station desk when the nephrologist from UK I have been talking to came on her daily rounds. She was reviewing all the patients one by one and she came to a young 28 year old guy who has been with us for the past half year or so.
After some discussion, I heard the guy ask, "Can I have one liter of water right now? They can pull it off during dialysis, right?"
All of us including the nephrologist, the other patients on dialysis and I burst out laughing!
In the same breath, he said, "Doctor, I feel like having six liters of water every day!"
No one except a dialysis patient can understand these emotions.
