LOS ANGELES — Socorro Reyes could feel himself getting sleepy as his blood pressure dropped.
He was at his usual Friday morning treatment at a DaVita dialysis center. Reyes had settled into his chair to tune into a religious station to listen to Mass. Before his appointment ended, the dialysis machine started beeping and a technician came over to shift his position and Reyes had to tell them what was happening. He often feels as if the nurses and technicians are not always paying attention.
If a doctor were there, he said, “they would have immediately taken action.”
