Guardian Australia news article about actor Jack Thompson doing haemodialysis in outback Australia

Came across an article in the Guardian AU today and found it interesting and informative.

This is very familiar,  "it's above 30C outside but the tubes running his blood from his arm into a dialysis machine have caused a slight chill." Jack might need a heated vest or jacket!

Shout out to the big red kidney bus -  https://kidney.org.au/bus and the purple truck - https://www.purplehouse.org.au/communities/the-purple-truck for providing these much needed services to dialysis patients who live remotely or who wish to travel within Australia.
