Well, my appointment with my new doctor went almost exactly as I expected to; he said “Yup, sure sounds like obstructive sleep apnea could explain all of this; here’s a referral”, and tomorrow I get to call and schedule that. (I forgot to ask if he knew what the wait was likely to be like, but I’ll know tomorrow in any case.) He is entertaining and has a sense of humour and comes off as a Real Person rather than a Doctor Declaiming from On High, and he typed notes into his laptop as he talked with me. I like him.

He did confirm my sense that my oral pharynx looks unusually crowded.

Oh, I also took the opportunity to get my every-so-oftenly STD screening; go me!

Go you!! Glad you're moving through the red tape to better health. Glad the doc seems cool and is a geek.

Hugs and love and health!!

"comes off as a Real Person rather than a Doctor Declaiming from On High"

OK, time to bust him down; that's definitely against union rules. Can't be having doctors pretending to be regular, fallible *people*.

*calls the union to send over some leg-breakers*

Oh good! I'm glad you like him :) Just a note on the sleep lab at the BI. When I scheduled my test about two years ago, it took me two months to get an appointment :( The do have a cancelation list though and maybe the wait time has gotten better? yay, and good luck!

Out of curiosity, who did you go with. From your description, he sounds like my former PCP. If so, say hi to him for me the next time you see him.
