That happened in the very thread that yammerhead went berserk in.
Not according to Mr Misinformation.Pugsy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 1:06 pmAnd it wasn't PR or myself correcting someone for using BiPap in the wrong context. It was someone else giving out incorrect information about how an ASV machine worked. They flat out said the ASV wasn't a bilevel. Which is of course totally incorrect.
Incorrect or misinformation needs to be addressed. Now we can address it gently or with a 2 X 4 but it still needs to be addressed.
The advantage of that is that you don't need to haul a backhoe half way across the country, you can just bury it out back, or toss it in the septic tank.Pugsy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 1:06 pmAs for all the other places using bipap generically...well....the president said that Covid was just like the flu. Doesn't make him right does it? Just because he said it or they do it....doesn't make it technically correct. When it comes to matters of health and the machines we use to maintain our health....I am going to try my best to be technically correct.
I really don't give a rats behind what other places do or say ...... I will use correct medical terminology whenever possible.
Except for when I use the "thingy" and "gadget" or "dodad" because I don't know the correct name or at my advanced age I simply forget the correct terminology.
But I won't (and never have) burned someone at the stake for using bipap generically.
Now I am thinking about creating another voodoo doll whose name will be Jeff and he might get burned at the stake.
