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.
