Kidney
Machine for home haemodialysis 1966
For 9 years this unwieldy contraption was
Moreen Lewis's lifeline. Moreen Lewis was one of the first British kidney patients to be
treated at home. This machine which she nicknamed Dr Who, was installed in a specially
modified room in her house. In 1966 stating on home dialysis would set you back £7000. (
In 1970 some people got it on the N.H.S ) |
