Tuesday Lunchtime

"Perils of the Deep Sleep"

Whether we look at their impaired quality of life, their increased health risk, or even the increased danger to themselves and others (in RTAs), our patients with sleep apnea are in great need of our vigilance and help. Today our very own pilots us through these hazardous waters.
