Life of a Dialysis Patient
Its truly said that pursuing MBA exposes you to the harsh realities of the world. So did mine! During the three and a half month internship period at 7 Med India Private Limited, I learnt a great deal and this was not confined just to softwares and financial statements.
7 Med India Private Limited operates in healthcare sector by rendering quality dialysis services to people suffering from Chronic Kidney Diseases. The kidneys of these patients become incapable of performing the basic function of purification of blood by waste excretion along with maintenance of body fluids. Because of this, such patients have to seek the purification of their blood outside their body with the help of artificial kidneys.

While the world is changing at an ever escalating pace, a dialysis patient feels hapless as if restrained by the shackles of their treatment. Kidney related diseases take a toll on not only the physical body of it’s victims but snatches away their peace of mind making them restless and bleak from inside.
Bound by their very own bodies, they require a great deal of physical support and the trivial everyday tasks are often looked upon by them as prodigious mountains that they have to climb. Their lives suddenly become extremely dependent on man-made machines which pretty often make them feel a deep sense of loss of control as if they are no longer the captain of their life’s boat.
Depression, anxiety and ambiguous feelings fill their heart and mind making them weak in every aspect. Even though dialysis has successfully brought down the mortality rate yet there are still many who consider it as the sole culprit that took their happiness away. Their life is curbed by the disease in numerous ways and they often find themselves as restricted and controlled like marionette.
Ergo, one should never lose even a single opportunity of lifting the spirits of a dialysis patient for if every able man makes a vow to help just a single patient in his entire journey of life then an unimaginable world wide change could be brought in these people’s lives!
