I really enjoyed reading about the history of dialysis. I started in dialysis in late 1980 and have seen huge strides over the years. Thank goodness for determined physicians and nurses to keep getting better at their craft.

I enjoyed reading the evolution of dialysis and changes to care nurses give patients. I believe in the out patient setting of hemodialysis there is not the time spent with patients that was described in the articles.

I just finished reading this article on past dialysis treatment. The information made me appreciate the advancement in dialysis that has occurred over the years. We still need dedicated doctors and nurses to care for those with kidney failure.
