financially stressed patients, but others desired to be more like concierge providers. These concierge vampires would spend the effort to transport patients to the clinic, or even take their mobile clinic to the patients.

All of these were valid desires: vampires have a right to liberty and to pursue happiness. The solutions contained some great ideas and some that made me ponder future ramifications. But we need to focus on the current goals: enable vampires to climb the rungs of power and recognition, and enable the fiscally challenged to do the same. Any future chaos can be appropriately dealt with when it occurs. Assuming vampires really are safer than The Matrix or nuclear weapons.

The goal was to recruit about a third of the thousand vampires in California so we would represent about thirty thousand dialysis patients. Over a dozen trips around California (a week a month over a whole year), I visited a several hundred vampires at a couple hundred clinics. More than two-thirds of these were very interested in climbing the ladder to a better life for themselves. That is still less than a thousand vampires, but I was hoping they would pass it through the grape-vine — maybe a nice 2017 Blueprint Cab, although few of us will appreciate it — and have a multiplier. Unfortunately, I would never know how many vampires actually committed. From this point forward a huge part of my cards were hidden, even to me.
