Patient Bill of Rights
I saw that back in 2012 there were a lot of posts about a Sleep Apnea Patient Bill of Rights. I did not wade through all the posts but saw that there was some controversy and disagreements on it. Then there was a final post about a tweet. I don't tweet and it was several years ago. I did wonder if anything was done/finished with this? Or is there a Sleep Apnea Patient Bill of Rights somewhere else out there?

Re: Patient Bill of Rights
Exactly. There are no rights except for what you pay for and what someone agrees to provide you.
Most don't want to pay for what they demand. It's a foreign way of thinking to my generation who expected to work for what they wanted.

When deciding you have to drive the Way Back Horse and Buggy, (Archives), at least try to read ALL the posts, then you will be better able to digest the subject. Jim

But you may not have the ability to find one. It's kinda like hunting for mushrooms in a snowstorm. Jim

Re: Patient Bill of Rights
Like the airline passengers' bill of rights, it all depends on your provider, at the point of service . . .

Close!
In the galley, they spin the wheel of horrible behavior before each flight.
Crush/lose baggage
Rub old cheese on the cabin air filter.
Leave all fresh water on the ground.
Beat up an elderly passenger.
Let a psychotic on board.
Change the rules mid-flight.
Extra salt in all food.
Put small pet carriers in airtight bin.
