Dialysis was framed as ‘treatment’ & possible complications minimised. CKM framed as ‘non-treatment’, linked to advance care planning, palliative care & death. Inaccurate framing of both treatments mean patients may exclude treatment options more concordant w/their goals, values & preferences.

Millie at 5 months. She has grown so much! Today she ripped a toilet roll to shreds, and she loves a Croc to chew. Pretty good at coming when you call her, except if she's too distracted by wanting to befriend other dogs. Can't imagine her not being with us now.

Thinking of my dad Barrie, who died 31 years ago today. He is the reason I've found this topic so interesting and important for so long. Thinking of everyone grieving someone this Christmas.
