I feel like I'm being a bit discriminated against at my center.
Let me explain why. First of all I want to let you all know I've been on dialysis since May of this year. I'm totally blind. First of all I can't see the machine which means I can't see if they are doing my treatment right, etc. I can still urinate, in fact, I urinate so much that I never swell and they don't have to take off fluid. In fact my doctor has a standing order against the center that no fluid is to be taken off. Well the techs like to bypass that order, They will tell me they aren't taking off fluid however later in treatment I start to feel dizzy and stuff and the tech will come over and say I'll put you at minimum. I'm like well I thought you weren't taking off fluid in the first place? Then they'll come up with some dum excuse, like one day and this is no joke it was the weekend and I had put on wait but it wasn't fluid wait and the tech said looks like someones been drinking this weekend (they meant drinking as in drinking alcohol) and I said no I don't drink please don't take off fluid so she said she wouldn't. Well when I started to crash I asked I thought you guys weren't taking off fluid? She said well we had to to get rid of the alcohol. Now folks I don't drink and never will. I feel they are bypassing the doctors orders and just doing whatever the heck they want with my treatmnet since I can't see the machine. Also when my machine alarms I will ask what it means and they will say don't worry about it. Now just recently they have put me in a corner all by myself and hardley ever check on me then when I need a nurse they never come unless I make the machine alarm.
I feel they are messing with my health and just taking advantage of me cause I can't see the machine. What do you all think?
Thanks,
Troy
