Bothell, Wash:-While his wife, Louise, and children, Joey, 3, and Bonnie, 23 months, "visit" him in a hospital-clean room at home, Joe Black lies in bed hooked up to a kidney machine. Black owes his life to the machine- since his kidney do not function and chronic uremia poisoning will prove fatal-- which purifies the waste blood which accumulates in his body
