How to Make a Killing

How to Make a Killing: Blood, Death and Dollars in American Medicine explores the history and current state of dialysis treatment in the United States.

The book details how dialysis, once a lifesaving medical breakthrough, has been transformed by large corporations and profit-driven interests into a system that often prioritizes revenue over patient care.

Through extensive reporting, Tom Mueller introduces readers to patients, doctors, and insiders who expose the ethical and systemic failures of the dialysis industry.

The book serves as a microcosm of broader issues in American healthcare, challenging readers to consider how fixing dialysis could lead to broader healthcare reform.
