Lol.CPAP...no big deal. And you'll feel markedly better. Totally worth it.Tested positive for sleep apnea. Round two of testing on 2/12. Yay me.
What is problematic: the requirement by your insurance company you attend a pulmonologist on a twice yearly basis so he/she can collect a tier-one co-pay.
Below is a transcript of my recent $45.00 visit
Doc: Heeeyyyyy, good to see you again, Mr. Staw- z-ak. How're you doing?
Me: Good. Still sleeping much better, just like last time, and the time before that, and the time before that.
Doc: Good! Good!
(Doc notices Penguins jacket, proceeds to re-enact last years January visit)
Doc: You're a hockey fan!
Me: Yup. Yup.
Doc: Nice...Nice.
Awkward silence
Doc: Well, good to see you again, Mr. ...
Me: Same here, Doc.
Doc: See you in six months!
(pumps my hand vigorously)
Me: Looking forward to it.
My co-pay is only $30. So, bring it on, doc.
