Corrupt Dialysis Industry Exposed... "How to Make a Killing" Book Review. Tom Mueller has written an excellent book about corruption in the dialysis industry called "How to Make a Killing."

The book lays out the story of dialysis from its invention around the time of World War 2 to its eventual coverage by Medicare in 1972.

The book goes on to chronicle the consolidation of many dialysis companies into two... DaVita and Fresenius, which control over 80% of the US dialysis market.

The book describes the abuses against dialysis patients including being abandoned by their dialysis center when they speak up about their care.

Lessons from "How to Make a Killing"
1. Vulnerable patients are exploited when A) there is a lack of competition or B) regulatory capture dissuades the government from protecting patients they way it should
2. Individual Advocacy--speaking up, making others uncomfortable, being the 'squeaky wheel'--is necessary to improve a patient's dialysis care.
