I was in a Gam
o unit. It was a jiffylube all the way. No quality of care whatsoever and the worst staff imaginable. Never once had any contact from a representative from Gam
o. Just a dialysis warehouse.

How can these large dialysis corporation's even begin to waste money on such crap when they do not hire qualified staff, do not keep medications to help with the minimum treatments, and generally harrassing patient's with the same stupid forms to sign.

It sounds like the patients and their families are "terrified"! I know when I sit in that dialysis chair I worry about what will happen to me, but who will keep me safe from undereducated inexperienced staff, and substandard care because of profit margins? We (and our government!) perceive terror to be coming from a
oad, but sometimes it's closer than we/they think! Brings to mind something I always hear growing up: People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones! Lin
