Welcome to KidneyTalk with your co-hosts Lori Hartwell and Stephen Furst.
This week, Lori and Stephen visit with Dr. Paul Miller, a nephrologist who came
to the rescue of many displaced dialysis patients in the wake of Hurricane
Katrina, and Bradley Mayfield, a kidney patient who not only lived through the
hurricane but helped chauffer other patients to dialysis during the storm’s
awful aftermath.
“As a patient, seeing that size storm approaching the area, my first concern was
how it was going to impact my ability to get the necessary treatment I needed.
With some of the precautions Dr. Miller had taken with his center, I didn’t have
much to worry about,” says Bradley.
Listen in as this week’s guests tell of their experiences during the worst storm
in our nation’s history, how they made dialysis work, and tips on how you too
can be prepared for an emergency situation in times of unforeseen disaster.
