1/8/2007 - How It All Got Started

Sometimes we learn best by taking a look at the past. Did you know there used to be a life-and-death committee that kidney patients had to get through before being accepted for dialysis treatments? Lori and Stephen visit with guests Dr. Christopher Blagg, a pioneering nephrologist who was present when the concept of chronic dialysis became a reality, and Nancy Spaeth, a kidney patient survivor who was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 1959 and began hemodialysis in 1966.
