CPAP Consultant

Post by vdol52 » Thu Dec 18, 2008 11:19 am

How about creating a position as a CPAP Consultant. There are so many OSA sufferers who are not computer literate enough to set-up Encore Pro, not to mention all of the variables that we only learn from forums like this.
Just a thought. It would be great if these people were in every city and insurance would cover the service.

Perhaps I'll speak to Barack and Tom Daschle about that.

Sounds like a great idea. Don't forget to apply for a bailout loan of a few billion $, while you're at it!

It's a great idea... though it's the position, in theory, that the DMEs fulfill.

Many hospitals have developed good education programs for diabetes patients. I think it is just a matter of time before they will develop something for apnea patients based on the diabetes model.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related
