Yes. One, a dear friend had the home dialysis gig - where he and his wife would do the treatment 3 x per day, they had to make sure they were home for deliveries and had space for large amounts of supplies of bags of stuff. Since the wife is a Registered Nurse and worked midnights, this worked pretty much ok for them. He passed away several years later due to further complications from heart problems, amputation etc etc.
The other, another friend, former co-worker, of mine, has been doing dialysis for about 5 years? maybe more. He’s gone from 2 x per week to 3 x per week.
He’s had problems there, one time I interceded on his behalf to attempt to work out a situation that had happened. He was usually scheduled to be hooked up first thing in the am (like 7), got there early, as was his habit, the place wasn’t open (some one hadn’t shown up for work). result was he was hooked up some 45 minutes later than he usually was, and was pretty upset, especially since no one had said anything about ‘gee, we’re sorry for the wait’ (which one gets even in a fast food restaurant).
When they were hooking him up, he asked ‘why’ and was told some one hadn’t shown up for work, he remarked that it was pretty inconvenient, and was told “well, it wasn’t convenient for us, either”.
He went through the roof. To him, and the other patients, it was a ‘am I gonna die here’ level of issue, while for the employees, it was a 'gee it sucks that we have to work harder for a while to catch up '. He ended up being removed via an ambulance since his blood pressure went skyrocketing.
They wanted him to apologize for making a scene. He planned to never return, knowing that it would kill him. I negotiated between the two
Yes, I’ve heard tales of stuff from those places.
