Dialysis Without Fear
The Offer Family went through a crisis that many kidney
dialysis patients know about: going from leading a carefree, regular life one
day to walking into a dialysis clinic for treatment the next. But Daniel Offer
is a physician as well as a medical researcher and professor at a university. He
was still shocked, as was his family, which includes his wife and his daughter.
So they wrote a book together called Dialysis Without Fear to help other people
going through dialysis treatments.
