This poor guy has serious health issues & he shouldn't be made fun of. Having kidney problems is no picnic & especially dialysis, that makes you feel very sick & missing a TX is life threatening.

He needs to couple those three-times-a-week dialysis appointments with three-times-a-week visits to a therapist. Gary has more issues than I can list.
