Corrupt Dialysis Industry Exposed… “How to Make a Killing” Book Review. Tom Mueller has written an excellent book about corruption in the dialysis industry called “How to Make a Killing.”
The book lays out the story of dialysis from its invention around the time of World War 2 to its eventual coverage by Medicare in 1972.
The book goes on to chronicle the consolidation of many dialysis companies into two… DaVita and Fresenius, which control over 80% of the US dialysis market.
The book describes the abuses against dialysis patients including being abandoned by their dialysis center when they speak up about their care.
I used to go to dialysis appointments with my grandmother to keep her company. Nothing like sitting in an open piss-smelling under-air-conditioned room for 8+ hours like it’s a hurricane Katrina Evac site to open your eyes to a bit of reality. I will happily die before I am willing to go through bullshit.
