Paramedics at Dialysis Clinic

My dialysis clinic had to call for paramedics again today. Thankfully it was not for me this time. When they called paramedics for me back in December, it ended up with a four hour visit to the emergency room and a whole lot of nothing.

Anyway, there’s a Hispanic man in a wheelchair that had dialysis around the same time as me so I see him in the waiting room, and he’s in the same pod as me. Usually his wife brings him in, but occasionally it’s just a medical transport driver. I’ve never spoken to him in person. I’ve only heard him speak Spanish and he’s usually super grouchy. He’s also confined to the wheelchair so they need to lift him in and out of the dialysis chair.

I’m not sure what was wrong with him today. Usually he’s sleeping in his chair and never seemed to have any issues before. I hope he’s doing okay but the prognosis is not good for dialysis patients with other medical issues.
