He told the pediatrician "he needs a sleep study, he has apnea." He was shocked when the pediatrician told him "no, he doesn't. children don't get apnea." He was telling us this and laughing, saying "he's telling ME, the sleep disorders specialist, that children don't get apnea and my son did not have it." He had the boy scheduled, he had pretty severe apnea, and his tonsils took a permanent vacation. He's waiting for 3 months, then going to have him tested again....
Thanks Debjax. With that "good 'un", I am going to sign off for the day.

Hmmm? Highly regarded in Orlando. Are his initials MM?
No, Rooster, but a hint:
When I was first referred to him I asked the referring doc if the sleep doc was related to Couvoisier.
