    I don't know I think my 22 years in Emergency Medicine qualifies me as a medical professional? Wouldn't you?

    The machine that I have, Can be changed by a wifi connection. Someone, (Dr.) can change it to your needs and it will automaticlly adjust within a window that is preset by the testing that you have done. Mine automaticly adjusts between 10 and 14 (h2ocpm?) Mine has a sd card that records all use and info that can be taken out and downloaded into a computer and printed off for you to take to your DOT Physical Dr. Any other Questions just PM me and I will do the best to answer them.

    When they adjust yours do you have to go back for another sleep study or does the doctor adjust it on their own?

    They do it ALL through wifi. It can be adjusted as they see fit along with your compliance. Some Dr.s still do not do the Sleep apnea testing. I heard of a couple that don't AFTER I started this process and it's too late for me now to go back. I am stuck with it. I have dosed off with out the machine and get woken up by the sound of a turbo sucking in (Me breathing) once in a while. The pennies have not rained down from heaven ( as was told / portraid to me) But at times I still feel it is a money maker for the CPAP folks at my wallet. and other times it's OK for me. You will get used to the mask after awhile. Been using my machine since Aug of 16.

    It is a scam because everyone is going to die, Steve Jobs died, he was rich.
    There is one reported accident because of sleep apnea, ONE.
    So most all people can function normally without a cpap. Statistically everyone can drive safely without a cpap.
    ,
    Sure, a cpap might prolong the life of a person, but if they die in their sleep in bed, they harm no one.
    So it is a scam.

    If we can save someones life vs letting them die in their sleep, I don't know about you but I would rather have the sleep test

    Steve Jobs could have been saved but he wanted to try alternative medicine. Steve Jobs wanted to go the natural way when he finally decided that was not working he went back to the modern medicine and it was to late. He may still be alive today if went with modern medical advice. Kinda the same thing with CPAP you may think is a scam and you know more just like Steve Jobs did. That does not mean it's a scam. You need something to prove it's a scam. You should be able to debunk the doctors they say it's real.. Pretty amazing one of the richest guys in the world was not smart enough to save his life

    I'm all for saving someone's life who has sleep apnea, as long as it's voluntary and not coerced on the rest of us who don't have it.
