Here is an article from the Los Angeles Times dated December 2, 1968. While the prospects of home dialysis seemed to be an exciting prospect, it would seem that progress has been extremely slow due to the rising costs and complications that can make home dialysis a challenge for some. The projected annual cost for "at home" care in 1968: $17,000.
Also in this article, Dr. Harvey Gonick of the Southern California Kidney Foundation discusses the future of home dialysis care for patients such as George Lindsey (pictured here).
