Sure, I'm working for German health insurances and service providers in data engineering, data analysis and BI Reporting, know the studies and statistics and once was a dialysis and intensive care specialised nurse for 12 years.
I placed the last dialysis cannula in 2006 on a Cimino shunt and connected the patient to a Fresenius 4008B.
We also used Gambro AK 200, but for some reasons we prefered the handling of the Fresnius machines.
Are these types of devices still in use today?
I also read the patient files and talked to the patients.
You have quite a close relationship with people you care for professionally on average three times a week for 4-5 hours over years.
You know them quite well after some time.
But, you can't base health care decisions on anecdota, can't you?
But, I found that the statistics corresponded to my observations.
People are peole.
Of course, not everyone who is overweight gets kidney failure, and not everyone with kidney failure has it because of their lifestyle.
