"Caring and efficient staff"

I feel I have to respond to the post about high potassium and mobility problems.  May I respectfully point out that GPs, although vastly experienced in a lot of fields, should be the first to defer to any specialist team. I have now had two episodes of sudden loss of mobility and have been warned several times that my rising potassium levels could lead to medical and health problems. I suffered sudden loss of the use of my legs and it was terrifying to discover my potassium levels had shot up.

The Vale Renal unit nursing staff are the most caring and efficient staff I have ever encountered. Your needs are always put first. Yes, sometimes being advised of things you would rather not hear about is difficult.

The team have a vast amount of experience and many have been in the unit from its opening. They rely on their vast experience to cover dialysis and all the other medical problems that are attached due not only to failing or defunct kidneys, with little input from doctors. The nursing staff do indeed know what they are talking about; potassium levels in blood tests do not lie.
