Any press is good press, but coverage on a nationally syndicated talk show is great press, especially for proponents of home dialysis. On a recent episode of "The Doctors," the NxStage System One was profiled as a way for dialysis patients to dialyze at home and free up their lives. "The Doctors" was spun off from the Dr. Phil show and is a one-hour, daytime talk show where a team of medical professionals discuss health topics and take questions from viewers. In this case, the panel did a brief interview with Vanessa, 35, who has been using the NxStage machine for nearly four years. Click HERE to watch the clip.
