Conception of a Dialysis Patient (the untold truths)
Please take a moment my friends and read ....
It's weekend, so I thought to give something back to a good friend of mine Mr. Fayton Hollington and also helping him by spreading out something really transforming and of big, big value.
It's a book -> "Conception of a Dialysis Patient (the untold truths)" by Mr. Fayton Hollington
Intriguing and thought provoking, Conception of a Dialysis Patient (the untold truths), is for those who have never crossed over and experienced this world first hand. Tethered to a machine for survival, takes an emotional toll, yes on the patient, but family and friends as well. Anyone who draws breath needs to take this expedition. Dialysis patients, unfortunately, know their untold truths, so this may simply be confirmation of sorts, acknowledgement of their not being alone. This is the point of view of one patient, not a physician, so I implore you to pass this along, so you and others hear teir voices.
The objective is to open everyone’s eyes and minds, especially those of you unaware. You will value the emotional charge, and destruction dialysis imposes upon patients, and their families. Again, the goal is to enlighten to something that strikes at will. Lingering, pensive in self-reflection, is what this opus will accomplish, while examining your own dilemmas, health or not.
It is impossible to surmise the contents from the title, so trust me when I say this is for all who draw breath… Please, take that breath with us.
Ponderous moment: "What would you chance, if you knew you would not fall?" In this opus, there are many. Consider this while taking the journey. Permit yourself to be transfixed, transported, and tantalized… many already have.

’s Literary Reviewer, Grady Harp’s outstanding assessment, as seen on Goodreads and Amazon. (Literary Aficionado submitted) Conception of a Dialysis Patient (the untold truths)
`My arm was opened between the forearm and the bicep at the elbow'
`Autoimmunity is the failure of an organism in recognizing its own constituent parts as self, thus leading to an immune response against its own cells and tissues.'
It would likely be impossible for anyone to read this rather extraordinary memoir by Fayton Hollington and not feel a cramp in the body and the psyche, attempting to identify with the story revealed here. This is one of those book that not only teaches the reader about a condition few have even heard about much less understand while at the same time presenting the spirit of a survivor against all odds. It is a revealing exposé about the medical fields of kidney dialysis and kidney transplantation - far more complex and enigmatic than the public understands.
None of this would be so profound were it not for the quality of writing that Fayton Hollington brings to the book. Hollington is a writer - of two other books and a number of screenplays as well as poetry that will surely gain recognition following the most assured success of this debut. The name may not be immediately recognizable at present, but in time that will change.
Hollington is an African American man from a large family. His father was killed when he was young, forcing his mother and his siblings to move form Harlem to Long Island. And that is where his story begins. He contracted a viremia-like syndrome with high fevers and a dermatological nightmare of abscess-like lesions on his body. Eventually the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosis was made and despite medical treatment of a poorly understood illness he went into renal failure and required renal dialysis just to stay alive. He underwent kidney transplantation but eventually rejected that donated kidney and now he remains dependent on dialysis.
In this book Hollington shares the marriage of chronic renal failure patients to the dialysis machine and his in depth discussion of that is both harrowing and informative. Few people can describe the fateful bond between machine and life the way this fine author does. Place this book in the column of `must read' - it is both a humbling and a challenging experience and reveals the soul of a man whose spirit is indeed indomitable.
-Five stars – Amazon and Goodreads
