It took me a little while to get into this book - for the first 50% it was like I was reading but was I digesting what I was hearing??? sorta thing but throughout the whole book I was so disheartened by this reality of our healthcare. I do feel I have come out knowing more about dialysis. 

A few key takeaways: 
1. This reality is so infuriating and saddening. 
2. Greed has NO PLACE in healthcare. 
3. The American healthcare system has totally lost the plot. 
4. It should be illegal for non-hospital employees (ie. Drug or pharma sellers) to be in the rooms of patients. 

Thoughts while reading: 

25% It’s so crazy that this is still a question: is healthcare a fundamental right versus something that should be monetized.

30% it’s really interesting to think of the moral implications of medicine, transplants, or a program like dialysis - should they be able to stop their own treatment - if so, would it be considered suicide? 

37% it’s interesting to learn that dialysis had such an impact on the way our entire US healthcare system - it was the starting point for for profit care 

38% I feel so smart listening to this lol ~am I better than everyone??~

44% I will say this book is hard to get stuck into - like it’s easy to go in and out and it feels like you haven’t missed anything? Idk I feel like I’m reading this but am I really taking it in???

All in all this book is a glaring reminder that greed has no place in the world of healthcare. 

48% “yes, they’re keeping them alive but at what cost to their quality of life?”

57% so many of their “debates” seem so common sense - do this thing that is better for the patience or do this thing that cost more money and is worse for the patience??? Hmmmm

I feel like I hadn’t really gotten into this book until  now - 60% of the way in 

72% - comparing Devita to Animal Farm - wow rough 

72% corporate America is the woat. GREEDDDDDD

74% the casualness in which BILLIONS of dollars is discussed in relation to payouts is crazy crazy
