shermandarlene+FollowShe Ate Her Dialysis Chair?!A woman on dialysis started secretly eating chunks of foam from her treatment chair—thinking it would soak up extra fluid in her body like a sponge. Turns out, she had pica, a rare compulsion to eat non-food items. Her doctors were stumped at first since pica usually means cravings for things like clay or ice, not chair foam! This wild case is a reminder that medical mysteries can pop up in the most unexpected ways. #MedicalMystery #Pica #Dialysis #Health #BodyHealth2415Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowDialysis Care Linked to Insurance Type?Just learned that dialysis centers with more patients on commercial insurance have lower death rates than those with mostly Medicare patients. The catch? A Supreme Court decision could push a lot of folks from private insurance to Medicare, possibly impacting care quality. It’s wild how much the type of insurance can affect your health outcomes—makes you wonder what’ll happen if more people have to switch. Anyone else surprised by this? #Healthcare #Dialysis #InsuranceMatters #SupremeCourt #PatientCare #Health10Share
