Patient Stories
Doctor's Orders

Diagnosed with kidney failure following quadruple heart bypass surgery, Shirley Mitchell knows the importance of following doctor's orders.

"I take my medicine, watch my fluid intake and follow a fairly strict diet, plus I get support from the nurses at the dialysis clinic. They're always encouraging me, asking how I'm doing. One of them even sings to me. It's like visiting family. When I leave the clinic, I'm ready to watch my daughter race in a soapbox derby or go to a flea market with my husband. I can tackle the world."
