what einstein said about apnea

Yes, but... stop saying AHI is no good. Knowing more than AHI is good, but saying AHI is worthless is stupid and wrong. 02 sats are important, but not everything and not necessarily worth more than AHI. Life is not about 10 sec. sound bytes .

PS I doubt if Enistein was talking about apnea!

then the whole world will look like a nail

you really need more than AHI to know how your SDB is being treated

As I've pointed out before,
Although often quoted, there's no record that Einstein ever said this. The saying:
"Not everything that counts can be counted,
and not everything that can be counted counts."
has been attributed to Sir George Pickering', a British physician, and many have repeated it. It was claimed that Einstein quoted Pickering on his blackboard.

Moved to a more appropriate thread in response to Kathy's post below.

Is this week going to be a-thread-a-day about AHI and RDI? This would have fit nicely in any one of the other threads already discussing the same subject. Einstein never said anything, either original or quoted, about apnea. He made have put out general life theories that you choose to apply to sleep apnea, but AHI and RDI were not even in his lexicon. This title is misleading.

Dozens of phoneys every day try to equate themselves to Einstein.
According to many of his contemporaries, he was a contemptible jerk, an adulterer, and a plagiarist.
Being smart isn't everything.
