I’d be all alone
October 8, 2007 in Misconceptions
Patient misconception: “I’d be all alone.”
Patient truth: Home dialysis patients have the same support team as in-center patients—doctors, dietitians, social workers and even a nurse on call 24/7. With this health care team behind you, you’ll always have someone to answer your questions, provide you with dietary tips and advice, lend an ear when you need to talk and help with any Medicare concerns you may have. Additionally, most home dialysis patients actually have more face time with their doctors than in-center patients.
