Reviews for Dialysis without Fear
Kudos to Dr Offer and his family! I absolutely loved this book...while it is directed to patients and their families, I found it an absolute must-read for all those involved in the care of dialysis patients, including nephrologists, dialysis nurses, dieticians, and social workers.
