The answer is obvious to all except those who have no interest whatsoever in what doctors must do
in order to become certified as sleep specialists by the American Board of Internal Medicine and the following Medical Boards:

American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM), the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN), the American Board of Otolaryngology (ABOto), and the American Board of Anesthesiology.

This posting was made for those who are at least curious as to what it takes to become certified as a sleep specialist physician. Last time I checked, the 'jailhouse' (this forum metaphorically as the jailhouse) sleep 'experts' here are not board-certified sleep doctors.

Go home, you 'creep', stop baiting posters, and 'get a life' some place other than this forum. You are 'trolling'.

If one is not interested, one can always choose not to read a thread, right? Who deems YOU Ms. 'Julie' to question the propriety of my post. It was an informational post based on indisputable fact. Period.

Sometimes, the "official" qualifications are inadequate, especially with respect to experience and economic reality.
I have found the experience of those who have walked this road before me to be far more relevant
than the dogmatic pronouncements of those few who have no idea what it is really like,
and merely repeat what they are told to say.
--or are PAID to say--you make no mention of who writes YOUR checks!

Your predictable post naturally followed, palerider. Stop 'thread-crapping' for once in your miserable existence.

The thread speaks for itself- what it takes to become certified. The rest of you just choose to thread-crap, because you have nothing better to do. Indeed, those of
you who are 'certifiable' know who you are...

Anyone with even a dim wit would acknowledge value to anecdotal experience.

Now go back to your respective 'cells' in the 'jailhouse', 'convicts'.

Come on, tell the truth, Ted; who does pay you for whatever it is you do here?
Or do you live a minimal life under that bridge or in your mother's basement?

it matters, not in the least, what it takes to become a doctor, to become certified, to be a rocket scientist... no relevance whatsoever. just like most everything you post.

You are entitled to your opinion. But this was not intended as a debate thread. It was an informational post, only, so that those people can become better informed about the matter and make their own credibility decision, instead of your 'bullying' and speaking like a sick dictator as to everyone feels or should feel about a given topic or subject area.

One man's "information" is another man's (or frog's) garbage.

You are entitled to your opinion, no matter how 'over the top' or 'delusional' it may be...

Why don't you do something about it by getting a different sleep doc or consider no doc at all, ever! And hire PR, and you can become housemates.
And, remember that one usually gets what one pays... oh, never mind, this is such a waste of time responding to this inanity, I have better things to do.

I am out of here. Good riddance, CF, PR & Julie! Everyone hates or dislikes you anyway.

I can keep quoting the posts you have deleted. Since I have not used profanity, you are violating forum rules by deleting them.
