The sleep study was done in a hospital room which was not conducive to sleep at all. The 45 min of data was interpreted by a pumonologist which I guess I would call him the sleep doc in my case maybe. I believe in the last 5 years more facilities and people have dove into the sleep industry because there is money to be made off of it which has complicated in many cases of seeing someone that really cares about you and your diagnosis and treatment. Maybe if he is smart he will realize and learn from this experience, if not he may get more. These people are not GODS and some of them I believe are in it for $$$$$$$ and those are the ones that need to be weeded out.

cotech50, I work for a sleep center that is in north eastern illinois. if you are interested, I can help with a board certified sleep physician, and equipment as well. If not, I understand.

Oh Pineapple, it's not the length of the words that impresses, nor their "girth". It's the panache and aplomb of the word-wielder.
