Used to think sleep apnea was a bunch of hoooey (spelling?). Got a sleep study at 41. Placed on CPAP. 1st night I felt like I woke up to life for the first time in 35 years. Excrutiating back pain on waking every morning...... gone. Sleeping all weekend while family played........gone. Won't leave h...

I worked with a doc once, he was going to "show me" how to get a visit and dictation done in 15minutes, the required time: He looked and typed on his computer for 2 minutes, glancing toward patient intermittently The patient meanwhile is describing the cough and phlegm he has had for the past 4 mont...
