I was handed a death sentence’

From The Richmond Free Press article highlighting Ora Lomax

“The consequences for such patients, predominately African-American, are dire,” Dr. Bear’s statement continues. “Some travel long distances, and some end up visiting hospital emergency departments, where they can receive only intermittent dialysis when in extremis. Others die. This health care practice — the involuntary removal of substantial numbers of patients each year from the treatment that sustains their lives — is without parallel in modern medicine.”

 All patient cases have been documented and verified for accuracy.
