I'm sorry to hear that your uncle needs medical care.

Some of us are anti big pharma, and we blame them for much of the illness that has been created in recent years. You need to be careful if you are asking for help that some believe will result in further deterioration of your uncle's health.

I am also anti big pharma. They have screwed my uncle up so badly with combinations of medications and doctors not
communicating with one another. At one point they had him taking FIVE blood pressure lowering medications and then
wondered why his blood pressure kept bottoming out. It's like they don't even look at his medical history when they
prescribe stuff.

Dialysis is a different animal though. That's not big pharma. That's medicine. I had to go through a few months of it
myself last summer after I ended up in the hospital. The combination of meds they gave me to get my heart beating at
a normal pace (it was spiking at 200+ beats per minute - turns out I have a condition called SVT) crashed my kidneys.

Fortunately it was only temporary and dialysis got things working again. But that's me. My uncle's health issues - his
heart and his kidney issues specifically - aren't going to go away.
