If you are poor & don’t own a TV or a car or have friends who own cars and don’t read books then I guess you can’t have sleep apnea. Or at least you won’t score high enough on the Epworth scale to qualify for a sleep study!

New study @AddictionJrnl finds incarcerated people had a massive (500%) reduction in overdose deaths in the 2 months post-release when receiving jail-based MOUD.

Offering this life-saving treatment should be mandatory for jails and prisons nationally.

You gotta like your patients. Pick whatever specialty or practice setting exposes you to the types of patients you like the most. This will go a long way in sustaining you.
