The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Now it seems that ‘new to dialysis’ patients are at pre-covid levels, but mortality is still elevated. So people are not staying on dialysis as long as they are passing away earlier.

The clinic where I go to get my weekly allergy shots has a dialysis room where they are taking treatment.

Having watched this every day for a few years, I decided that if I ever need dialysis I would start seriously looking for a way out. That's no way to live. Maybe take up base jumping or scuba cave-diving at age 81.
Or maybe going into a biker bar on a Saturday night and shouting "Y'all are a bunch of p*ssies!"
