A little cheaper than paying a DME to lie to you but not much!
Better facts here, and thd prive can't be beat! Jim

I have not read that particular book. There are others out there however, a bit more reasonably priced.

Is this book written for a lay person or is it a medical book that can only be understood by those with medical training? It sounds to me like a book for people in the medical profession.

That's too much money for a book that you may not even be able to understand. When I read the synopsis, I know I don't even understand all of that so I wouldn't be spending that kind of money on it.

I was tempted to mention your book, Jim, but you (kind of) beat me to it.

I do believe it is a medical text. Nevertheless, there are several people on here that have a depth of knowledge about sleep apnea approaching that of the medical profession. I would consider looking at it in a library but I am too cheap to spend that kind of money.

Seems aimed mostly at ENT surgeons.

Easy enough to preview if you click to look inside . . . :
