I gave a copy to the social worker at my dialysis clinic and she is getting more copies for the clinic to educate future clients.This book was most helpful for me. It covered a lot of critical information and helps with decision making. It provides experiences from several different patients and input from drs.and nurses who regularly deal with patients in kidney failure.
Buy Dialysis without Fear: A Guide to Living Well on Dialysis for Patients and Their Families Now
I purchased this book based on a review I read on the internet. It was more assuring because it is written by a doctor who is on dialysis and his wife. It helped put me at ease about the whole process. It gives info on the various types of dialysis & tells why he chose the type he uses without making one feel that is the only way to go.Author Dr. Daniel Offer has had over seven years on dialysis along with a career as a psychiatrist, so he's in the perfect position professionally and personally to discuss coping methods and hardships associated with dialysis. His wife and daughter co-author the book, bringing their own experiences as family members: the result is a collection of personal and medical revelations not only from the author and his family, but from other veteran patients, staff and doctors on how to understand and cope with dialysis. It's an excellent general-interest survey any medical and public lending library should have.Diane C. Donovan
California BookwatchRecieving this book I really did not think I would learn much more than I already new as a nurse. I was surprised and reminded of how much we do Not tell the Patient or family that could help them understand the processes. Especially at the beginning. This book was very easy to read and served as excellent info for all who practise in dialysis or recieve it or know someone who does.
