1. I'm all in favor of shooting up the machine
It would have let him die slower that way.

That's the answer you're looking for, right? :shrug:

6. I would have asked him how he lasted this long without a transplant.
Although I'm not sure we have a common language or an interpreter.

7. Huh? There's no evidence that he suffered
from renal failure and therefore he wasn't on dialysis. Oh and there's no such thing as a portable dialysis machine.

I thought everyone knew this already.

12. Yes, yes there is, imperfect as hell
and not used i the US or advanced economies... it is called Peritoneal dialysis. All you need, as portable as it gets, is an IV pole, which is easily improvised... the bag with the liquid, and... the tubing.

In places like oh Pakistan... I am betting you see some of this as well.

Not saying that this was what he received or not. Just that to think there is no portable "machine," well there is. Now if you talk of HEMODYALISIS machines the gold standard... they are a tad bulky and take about four hours.

You want an even less effective system that requires NO MACHINES? Intestinal dialysis. Of course an end stage renal failure patient and this don't translate to long life either.

13. Ok if you want to play the what if game?
THey have medics with the seals. Disconnecting him from the machine and taking him into custody is not that hard to do. Hell, all it takes is thirty seconds.
