There I was, minding my own business and raiding the supply train to dialysis land.  When out of nowhere a vision came unto me!  (don't trust people who see things that aren't there)  A vision of Hell!!!  Actually the basement of Hell!!  (I hear things are a bit cooler there than the main floor)  It was Hell for a couple of gentlemen I've heard of.  And what did I see in that basement of Hell!  I saw a window!  And above that window what did I see!  I saw a sign!  And what did that sign say!  "Customer Complaints"

And as I left Hell's basement what else did I see?  I saw quite a few people lining up.  The first person in line was a former kidney dialysis patient.  I didn't catch the whole of the conversation, but I did hear: "And then I died!" and "what are you going to do about it!!!".

Huh, maybe when people are buying things they should look under the hood?

Dialysis Facility Tracker

Updated Dec. 22, 2010

By Robin Fields, Al Shaw, and Jennifer LaFleur, ProPublica, Dec. 22, 2010

This site is for dialysis patients and others who want to learn about the quality of care at individual dialysis clinics. Among other things, you can learn how often patients treated at a facility have been hospitalized, report certain types of infections or are placed on the transplant list. The information is submitted by facilities and collected by contractors of the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, the federal agency that oversees most dialysis care.
