RE: Life Journal: I have some Trouble Reaching my Target Weight
What they do is they immediately reduce the blood pump, the fluid removal, and the cleaning process then adds fluids to my body to raise the blood pressure again. They also raise my feet.
Sometime ago with a different staff, they return my blood if it gets too low and let me rest and pause my session then they resume when the BP gets normal again after adding fluids.
So I am always hesitant to report my hypotension if I can still handle it, if not then I will tell them.
We have a different medical standards, you get the best, they reuse dialyzer here 8 times, even your machine detects a low blood pressure, its amazing.
They only give us fluids back if we're on the verge of passing out, feeling really sick, or are having severe cramping. Usually a rest does the trick, but they keep the pump speed the same, so the cleaning remains the same while you're on break.
I can't even fathom them re-using a dialyzer here even once. I'm appalled really. We are spoiled here.
Yeah it is different there than in my country. I had endured years of mediocre medical service. You can just see the results. That is why most patients die in the first 2 years. Tough patients like me transforms into a lion with no fangs. Maybe it is OK with me for my appearance but my major complaint now is the deformation inside my mouth, it makes my life harder than it is now.
