Dear Sir,
Sorry to bother you on this day 24-12-2011, its about my friend with kidney failure.
Gary Waite was admitted to Livingstone Hospital on 30/11/2011 and diagnosed with Renal Failure Stage 5. He is a diabetic and suffers from hypertension. After extensive tests had been done, Livingstone Hospital decided that they would no help him with dialysis or kidney transplant and he was discharged on 09/12/2011 by Dr Jones. There was no diet to follow or anything and was told had +/- 3 months to live. A referal letter was given but with no details of where to go or who to see.
After that news, he eventually found National Renal Care and they were willing to help. They donated a catheter for dialysis, which they got Livingstone to fit and said that dialysis would prolong his life although he needed a kidney transplant. He was Dr P Pohl (Physician) Thursday and that afternoon went for dialysis which he has to pay R920,00 cash per treatment which occurs 3 times a week to sustain life. There is definitely an improvement in his health since he has only enough money for another 2 weeks then he must give up. Les give him a Christmas present under the tree and give him some hope for treatment. If we can pay for other people that neglectfully injure themselves we can save a life or make it more comfortable for them.
Thank you
