| [ Summary ] |
Problems of family support from the standpoint of private medical clinics, treating the majority of dialysis patients are considered. Medical clinics are primary concerned with maintenance dialysis for those patients who can come to them for treatment. In some cases, for various reasons, when the condition of the patient worsens and they become unable to come to the clinic, it is necessary to request care in a hospital or other facility. Based on the condition of these patients, they may live out their final days at that facility. From the standpoint medical clinics, we deeply regret that not enough guidance is provided so that the patient and their family may prepare for this situation. It is best to follow the patient's condition and let the patient and their family know the facts as far as possible. With this information we may aid them in attaining their desires. If this is done, we can expect that treatment and care will be carried out smoothly at medical facilities. |
