The author seeks to address the issue of lack of communication between the physician and the patients as one of the possibilities for continued poor outcomes despite technical advances in dialysis. The failure to relate to patients as 'people' leads to a failure to individualize treatment and deal with atypical problems presented by some patients, which, in turn, leads to less than optimal outcomes.
