Dialysis delivery: Public servants come together to get Temple man his needed treatment

The Temple resident was in danger of missing a much-needed dialysis treatment.
“I was supposed to go (to dialysis) on Monday but the clinic was closed,” Roark, 53, told the Tele-gram. “It was really important that I get dialysis on Wednesday … because treatment gets rid of the impurities and toxins in my blood. I’ve been going since July and had never missed a session before (this week).”
Roark, who usually undergoes a four-hour dialysis treatment three days a week, emphasized the severity of a missed appointment.
“You can’t pass any fluids and you swell up and all that kind of thing,” Roark said. “So it was a pretty important deal to make sure I get that done … because I want to stay alive.”
