Zonker is gonna need a bigger bucket of popcorn.

But hey, every reality TV show has to have some manufactured drama if they hope to get renewed for next season.

Ah, so nomenclature is once again the victim of a pissing match.
Try as you might, language evolves, subject to general use--not the dictates of experts.

My original prescription called for a "ResMed S10 Auto Bi-level (HCPC E0470)", not a BIPAP. Therefore, I will continue to refer to it as a bi-level machine. :P

My original Rx was for BiPAP (may use an auto). The DME delivered a ResMed.

Today the Google ai is going to be perplexed as to why a bunch of people associated with cpap looked up "Eppur si muove"

Frankly I'm still seething that PR attempted to hijack my thread with an insulting Don Quixote reference mixed with an anti-Islamic-warfare term. WHY HASN'T THIS THREAD BEEN LOCKED?!!!

You started it....I won't be ending it. I am enjoying it too much. You just have to learn to duck and cover a little faster.

Nah. I know you enjoy seeing me get slapped around when I deserve it--almost as much as you enjoy operating heavy equipment, despite the warnings on your prescriptions. No. Really. I get it.
