Thanks to the Experts

Post by clownbell » Sun Apr 25, 2021 6:58 pm

I am old enough to remember the many decades when we didn't have he internet. Think about that in the context of CPAP. Without the internet, CPAP users would not have the benefit of the expertise shared in this forum. New users would be given their machine and sent along their way to flounder around on their own with only scant information and no ability to change machine settings. No OSCAR, no nothing. With that in mind, I propose a hearty THANK YOU to the experts whose patience and tireless dedication is a real blessing to today's CPAP users. Thank you for improving our lives.

think of all the people, myself included, who would have failed at this without the help found here.

and so many HAVE failed, because they never got to utilize this wonderful resource.

This forum has been a boon to me. I would certainly have quit PAP without it. My thanks also go to everyone who asks a question. This is how we all learn!

That's for sure. I bet the washout rate is way above 50%. I know of three people at my workplace with machines sitting in their closets. The good news is that I already consider those mine. :D
