I tried the CPAP and hated it. I went with a mouth piece instead to set my jaw

It worked better for me. I kept getting tangled up in the CPAP tubes, the seal

Anyone want to try a CPAP?

Need to be careful though. Different air pressure for different people

Tap 3. Professionally prescribed via a dentist. Cost a fortune. $2250.

Hambone

What? Did it come with a Gold bar or a cruise?

Zach Morris

2/6/16 9:24am

Is that covered by insurance? If not i would learn to love a cpap real quick

Real G Man

Insurance covered $1000.

Hambone

2/6/16 9:27am

What a ripoff. Can't believe they charge that.

WJCougar

2/6/16 9:49am

It's pretty pricey. My dentist was recommending that I get a night time mouth

Hambone

Yeah...I just can't believe what they charge for medical devices.

Idiot posts like that only make you look like a fool

Okay.

Wedgetail

OK

Fruit and vegetables are ok for some people. Some people eat nothing but Doritos

Where in this article does it describe the mechanism through which I should be getting kickbacks for prescribing CPAPs

Yes I do. There were plenty of classes addressing the illegality of taking kickbacks in med school.

An article written by a social studies teacher who has provided no in depth research.

But it's the first thing that popped up on Google....

Do some research

2/6/16 10:08am

Ummm... you are clueless.

byu_coug

If you really worked in the field you wouldn't be so clueless yourself

Wow... You got me there...

byu_coug

You're long post is totally wrong

My post is totally wrong... Please point out which points are wrong.

Right. Go back to your essential oils and making sure you never get vaccinations

Careful, I'm in tight with the big pharma industrial complex

HermanoPuma

Don't tell him about central apneas and its prevalence.

You are a shining example of the kind of person who keeps quacks in business

HermanoPuma

2/6/16 10:56am

No. The doctors don't make money off of selling cpaps. Neither does any sleep lab that I know of.

Slim

2/6/16 9:23am

I did not buy my cpap from the place giving me the study

Real G Man

Neither did I.

Oils and a breathe right strip... all problems solved...

Overweight or not

Yep. I wasn't overweight, but I wasn't healthy as a result of poor sleep.
