@DrSerunjogiEmma Very important points. Breaking even in private practice takes forever. I closed my practice 12 yrs ago. Reason - my patients owed 60m in debts. Meanwhile KCCA &URA were relentless. I now work for others and get paid for my services.

This is what we call a permanent dialysis catheter. It is one of the gadgets we use to clean the blood in people with kidney failure. I have a patient with the same catheter for 5 years. How long should a permanent catheter last?
