Thanks so much for taking up this issue i...Rob ...<br /><br />Thanks so much for taking up this issue in your blog.<br /><br />The 'back-side' of dialysis ... indeed of healthcare generally, though dialysis is - per person - disproportionately profligate ... matters so much, yet it receives no attention, no thought, no research dollars, and no discussion.<br /><br />We are pretty good and gung-ho at the front -side of our care ... the water we use without blinking an eye, the power we consume with little thought about how it was created, and the mountains of plastic lines, bottles, packaging, dialysers, and IV bags (to name some) that we blithely discard without a moments pause to think if, where or how there might be a smarter way to reuse or recycle it.<br /><br />So to see/hear that you may help to stimulate young-mind thought by drawing attention to this in your blog to renal fellows in the US is music indeed to this old-codger-for-the-environment from Australia.<br /><br />I just hope some read your excellent blog, then, over their morning cornflakes and coffee, read (especially) my Seminars paper ... then start to think - and dream - of a better way.<br /><br />Above all, Rob, you have my gratitude for noticing.<br /><br />John AgarJohn Agarhttp://www.greendialysis.orgnoreply@blogger.com
