Inadequate and delayed diagnoses and inadequate compliance!

Post by D.H. » Mon Sep 05, 2016 3:38 pm

These have been problems from the beginning. Both are getting better over time, but all too slowly!

More publicity leads to more diagnoses. Smaller and easier to use machines, and more comfortable masks lead to better compliance.

Sleep Apnea is much more common than even most doctors realize. Patients who are no overweight and/or do not snore are especially at risk of going undiagnosed!

I just hope it's brief, and the attendants notice and fix the wifi password, or whatever's allowed this. inmates shouldn't be allowed to post.

I'm glad they seem to have corralled westom again, now if avi would just forget his password, we'd be onto something.
