Poor compensation in general No reward for complexity or difficulty Cherry picking and problem patient dumping Complaints of steal, hypotension, and malaise due to lowballing dry weight goals Poor cannulation in general, and poor understanding of "aneurysms" in fistulas Late referral of patients for surgical evaluation, and being sent "pre-dialysis" patients with GFRs of 9, 7 or 5 (!?!). Failure to protect cephalic and basilic veins, leading to loss of options.
