Why is our government so incompetent? Is it because they have a monopoly in whatever they do? There doesn’t seem to be any sense of urgency or accountability to anything that they do.
I was talking to my sister on the phone, comparing notes between our two transplant coordinators, when the topic of the COVID-19 vaccine came up. It would probably be a good idea for both of us to receive the vaccination before going into surgery since there are a lot of sick people in hospitals. Anyway, we were trying to determine when I would be vaccinated based on the “Dialysis Centers” bullet point in Tier 1A. With me on the phone, she called the Orange County Health line and actually talked to someone. However, the customer service representative (CSR) basically told her to go look at more websites, including the California Department of Public Health. My sister was also told to call 211 to get our public agency help line for more information. That turned out to be a 10 minute trip through a massive automated answering system. I gave up and said I would ask the social worker at the dialysis center, but eventually she spoke to someone and I’m actually in phase 1C, using a totally different distribution system mandated by the state. So confusing.

Under the state system, I would be in phase 1C, which is where I would be dialysis or no dialysis.
