Seymour Jones & the Temple of CKD
Produced by Renal Support Network
Directed by Stephen Furst
Starring Dan Ponsky
The Renal Support
Network produced a play called Who Lives? by Christopher
Meeks. It opened in Los Angeles at the Pico Playhouse on
March 12, 2009 for
World Kidney Day and had 15 shows
for Kidney Month (from March 12 - 29, 2009).
It is a moving
drama about hope, despair, life, death and choice; based
on the
early history of kidney dialysis and the citizens committee
who had to decide who would get this life saving treatment.

The makeover took a few days as the NASCAR mechanics worked on
Rhonda's car. In the meantime, co-host Shannon Wiseman asked Lori
Hartwell, Founder and President of RSN, to take her through a
dialysis clinic explaining that the two main reasons people go
on dialysis are hypertension and diabetes.
This year has been a whirlwind of proposed
changes in the renal community. The changes that will take place
in the near future will have a tremendous impact on kidney
patients. I encourage everyone to get involved and learn about
the issues and speak up!
