Re: After Three years---Major Setback

I am really sorry you don't like a full mask. I went for a full mask from the begining because I have so many allergies that close my nose. This therapy has been such a relief. I know it has only been one week but from the first day it was like my allegies and stuffy nose just disappeared. Right now...

I am going to make one myself. There is probably $5 of materials if that in there - a pillow with cutouts.

Re: I have a couple questions for you guys that track data

What has servicing your car got to do with poor grammar? If you drive a car you should be able to service it. Or at least drive it with the same perfection you expect of people who are having a written conversation. Perfection in all parts of your life. Language is a living thing and only in the la...

Re: Doctors Allergic to Email?

Yeah, well I've encountered a specialist (as have a couple of friends w/their doctors) who now charge $15 to $25 if you call in for a script renewal. Correct - when I was designing the medical billing system they wanted to be able to book and charge for several patients during the same 7 minute app...

Re: I have a couple questions for you guys that track data

I guess they were more focused on retaining things like advanced mathmetics or Latin in med school or computer programming - things I could never get my mind around. Exactly and English is such a bloody illogical messy language that has, unlike some European languages, not been brought into 1900th ...

Re: Doctors Allergic to Email?

In the 90's I worked with a software house to automate medical billing for Nova scotia doctors. The medicare system was tired of the illegible billings and they managed to even screw up punch cards and MSI wanted to encourage the medics to automate. Well other then one clinic they never sold a thing...

Re: I have a couple questions for you guys that track data

Awesome! I am starting to think that due to my patient base being all old people that this is why I've never run into pt's that are eager to learn. We have a much younger generation on this site, all of which are comfortable with using a computer. LOL my grandparents hate their computer, they only ...

Re: I have a couple questions for you guys that track data

I'm with Nobody on this one. It's been fun following this thread, but the grammar, spelling, apostrophe-sprinkling and now "sunshine blowing" have really pushed me beyond my limits of tolerance. Bye. Shari You obviously don't work, live in a multicultural society. Grammar, spelling apostrophes don'...

Montreal experience - it took me since September to finally get my machine which I used for the first time last night. First it was the wait for the sleep clinic (december)then the clinic had to send it to my doctor (February) then an appointment with the specialist (april)(7 minutes long) and the a...
