More than 400,000 people in the United States undergo kidney dialysis. If you or a member of your family are one of them, then the prospect of a regular appointment with a dialysis machine may seem like the end of life itself. But that reaction couldn't be more wrong.
In Dialysis Without Fear, psychiatrist and dialysis patient Dr. Daniel Offer joins with his wife, Marjorie Kaiz Offer, and daughter, Susan Offer Szafir, to reveal how life can be lived--and lived well--on dialysis. Drawing on his long medical career and more than seven years of personal experience with dialysis, Dr. Offer dispels many misconceptions surrounding this treatment, explaining how you can adapt to the new diet, travel, work and continue to partake in life's joys and celebrations. But the fears and hardships can be quite real, and Dr. Offer brings his years as a psychiatrist to bear as he provides practical advice on how patients can overcome them. Walking through each step of dialysis, he explains different types of treatment, examines the pros and cons of a transplant, and discusses side effects. Since dialysis affects the entire family, Dr. Offer and his coauthors also provide realistic insights into how relatives can cope and thrive together, sharing the humor, courage, and triumphs of real families who have successfully faced the challenges of dialysis. The result is an inspiring, practical guide that will help you and your family learn to overcome the difficulties of dialysis, live without fear, and enjoy every day.

Meet Cledus B. Washington, Jr. an attractive, hardworking, fifty year-old man with a great sense of humor whose world is turned upside down when he becomes a statistic amongst the 20.6 million American who are diagnosed with chronic kidney disease each year. As he finally comes to grips with his illness, his girlfriend leaves him, his mother tries to take over his life, and his financial security is severely compromised as his world shrinks down to monitoring the buzzing sound of his lifeline that confirms he is still alive. I enjoyed reading `That Damn Dialysis immensely! Cledus Washington is a real down-to-earth person suffering with chronic kidney disease and learns how to live with it. I have been in the field of Nephrology for over thirty-five years, and have noticed that unfortunately there are occasions when healthcare workers (doctors, nurses, etc.,) treat patients with chronic kidney disease as if they are in a vacuum. The star character, Cledus Washington, shows he is a real person, with a real life. He demonstrates how he learns to live with the disease and yet still enjoy life. Being on dialysis does not take over his life! I look forward to finding out how Cledus deals with his kidney transplant. Excellent reading material; a great story, combined with easy to read medical knowledge. --Charles K. Crumb M.D. 'That Damn Dialysis' is unique! Most medical books are too technical and written for medical professionals. This `medical novel' is written so that the average person can fully understand the medical terms, enjoy a good story, and fully understand their disease and their options. Cledus B. Washington, the star of the book, tells his hilarious and compassionate story, in good old layman's terms.
