We have Americans denied the treatments, thanks to illegal alien border jumpers.

It is disheartening to know that Fresenius actually denied providing dialysis treatment to this woman. All technicalities and politics aside, I think they are fully aware of the repercussions if a kidney disease patient doesn't get the treatment that he or she needs. Additionally, I also found out from http://www.dialysisinjuryhelpline.com/ that some patients have reportedly suffered cardiac arrest when receiving treatment in one of Fresenius' dialysis clinics in 2010.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Sagittarius

It's important to be discriminating about what you say and believe today. That's because communications are rather strange, with people saying or doing odd things and plenty of scope for crossed wires. Be very careful if you're attending to important details because for some reason your brain may switch off at the vital moment, leaving you prone to making mistakes or losing track of what you're doing. Try to double-check anything important tomorrow when your brain is back in gear.
