Doc: "Any problems?"
Me: "Nope"
Doc: "OK, see ya' next year."
This is honestly how my appointments with my sleep doc go. I go there once a year to renew my prescription for supplies.
WHY do they go soooooo smoothly?
It's because of this forum, and all the WONDERFUL people on it!!!
Because of all you folks, I have learned how to take care of my OSA on my own. There are no questions I need to ask my doctor, that I don't already KNOW the answer to. Reading all the replies to this thread, and all the inane statements your doctors have made, make me CRINGE!!!!!! My heart goes out to all of you! If my doc ever said something like that to me, he'd be my EX-doctor!

Kvetch about the Affordable Care Act all you like, but I can't wait until the Meaningful Use regulations take effect. Schadenfreude!

When in doubt, open the case. Remember: If you can't open it, you don't own it!
Prescribed APAP range - 6-10 cm/H2O, titrated at 8.
Current range - 9.0-11.5 cm/H2O - still searching for the magic "zero night" but averaging 2.2 AHI

Sleep doctor #1 said my oxygen was OK. Actually it was at 71%. Not really that OK. Told me no follow-up was necessary.
So, I moved on to doctor #2.

Fascinating, hilarious, and troubling.
