Hemodialysis in clinic, only see clinic nephrologist once a month, but pay a good amount each time I do see him. I've had to replace my chest catheter 3 times, need to purchase medical supplies monthly such as shower shields to protect catheter, disinfectant to clean it, bandages to wear every day so that it isn't exposed. I also take various meds for high blood pressure, a diuretic, an anxiety pill, etc in addition to paying for each treatment
