My Story – Nymschy Van Persie

Nymschy Van Persie lives in Fredonia, NY. He has Blood Type A. You can contact him using the form below.

Hello. This is all very new to me. I was very healthy and I am an avid soccer player and basketball player. My plan was to attend medical school, but when I found out I had kidney problems which led to dealing with dialysis 3 times a week it was very hard to accept. I had to change my life style.

Even while I am still on dialysis, I try to go back to my normal life. I have to say this experience in life has taught me to appreciate life; be more compassionate to others. I told myself if I get a kidney transplant I want to be a kidney transplant surgeon. Then I can tell my patients that I know your pain. I know your worries. I have been there too as your friend and doctor.

I am on the waiting list at the Erie County Medical Center.
