Gary and Dee discuss dialysis and dialysis clinics. What is the state of dialysis here in the United States? Did you know dialysis is guaranteed to everyone who needs it? Why is so much of our dialysis care tied up in for-profit clinics? What are the consequences of this? DaVita is a national for-profit dialysis clinic chain that is headquartered here in Colorado. We finish up with a talk about dialysis in VA Clinics and changes they have made to improve safety in dialysis.
