This book was written based off of my life experience as a dialysis patient. it gives my point of view with around 14 years of experience as a dialysis patient. I am writing this book from my own perspective. It is my story to be told and I am telling it from a patient view. I like to say it is from my chair looking up at the doctors, nurses, and technicians taking care of me. This book gives the reader my first-hand experience as a dialysis patient and some of the things I have encountered along the way. I will never forget the first time I saw a bright light and it was getting closer and closer to me. When all of a sudden, there were about 5 or 6 people over me, shaking me and asking me if I was ok. This was my very first time blacking out in the dialysis chair and to be honest with you, my first thought was “why did no one tell me about the light?” That was the first time I realized that even though you have people around you, doctors, nurses, and technicians, most of them have never been a dialysis patient. I have seen a couple of people that were working as technicians and nurses who were also taking treatment at the same time, but they are few and far in between. I realized that no matter how much experience the people around you have, most of them can only tell you what they have seen patients go through, not what they experienced. You are the true expert when it comes to telling people how you feel on the machine not vis verse. I am not writing this book to bash doctors or anyone else but rather to help the reader understand that you must be proactive about your own health care and find people that will work with you and give you the information that will help you make the right decisions about your health. This includes, but is not limited to, doctors, nurses, technicians, and everyone else that works for the dialysis industry.
