Publisher's Synopsis
The number of people with kidney disease has increased dramatically. Curacao has the third highest number of dialysis patients in the world. This is a very worrisome situation which instigated the writing of this book; a compilation of some short dramatic stories about people who are suddenly in need of dialysis. Their reaction; disbelief, shock...Me...Dialysis...NO Way! The purpose of this book is to stimulate awareness concerning the reader's health by gaining knowledge about kidney disease and dialysis, hopefully opening doors to living a life as healthy as possible. A life without unpleasant surprises. Jolande Wijks (1962) has been a nurse for thirty years and is the author of the exciting, Dutch racy novel, Verleiding tot misleiding, which means Temptation to deceive. The experience she has gained during her ten-year career as a dialysis nurse led to the creation of her second book; Me...Dialysis...NO way!, about some short but profound real-life stories. She hopes that these stories will help prevent kidney disease and the need to dialysis in the community."
