Asked my new doctor for a DME recommendation

Post by Uncle_Bob » Mon Apr 18, 2011 2:37 pm

Out of curiosity i asked my new sleep doctor if he could recommend a good local DME.

He replied "Just go to cpap.com"

So why am i so surprised

This was after his RT told me she has never heard of anyone changing their own pressure

Don't post his name anywhere. The secret society of doctors will make him mysteriously disappear.
