“A patient healthy enough to undergo a kidney transplant might someday ...” — Sheri Fink Quote

A patient healthy enough to undergo a kidney transplant might someday no longer need dialysis. That would free up a slot for a new patient.

The threat from extreme weather events highlights the importance of investing in preparedness.

In the United States, Western Europe and Japan, there is widespread access to dialysis, most of it publicly funded. But in many countries, the majority of patients who need dialysis die without it.

Be an advocate for your loved ones in the hospital. Ask tough questions of your local hospital and health system about preparedness for the likeliest emergencies, and express your views on how medical resources should be allocated in case they ever fall short.

Even if someone else might not have liked the way I looked, to me I was fit, I was healthy, and I looked a way that I was happy with because I knew what I was doing made me happy.

For me, beauty comes from natural happiness. I think that a woman glows, and a man, even, when they're healthy and they're happy.

I like to take risks as long as they're healthy, you know. They're good, smart risks.

There isn't just one way to get healthy and sober and to stop using.

It is as healthy to enjoy sentiment as to enjoy jam.
