My friend is suppose to the hospital tomorrow to begin dialises but is now refusing to go. What he said to me was
that once he was on it he would only live no more than two years. Frankly I don't believe it but I need to know for sure. I question his excuse because this is not the first time he's put off any appointments with his doctor.

He should probably go. Dialysis is a form of cleaning your waste, like your kidneys do. Dialysis helps your kidneys flush the waste and toxins out of your body. He definitely should go, no excuses should be accepted. I don't know what the life expectancy is after starting it, but it really doesn't matter if he wants to live, right?

Well, certainly without it, he won't even live two years.
It's not an excuse, it's a deathwish.
Let your friend know that he's being an @ss...He needs to go even if it's only for the people who love him and don't want to watch him die quickly.
