Perennial question updates: salary/competitiveness
Hey all I know there are multiple threads on similar subjects, but as the years go by these things are a dynamic process and I would love to get a feel for the current pulse.
I have waffled back and forth on sleep most of my residency, and recently was shocked to get diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea, which i can now retrospectively conclude may be in large part connected to my chronic fatigue (which i have blamed on med school/residency) and mood (again blamed training).
Given the new...

Low GPA, Lots of Experience, Decent DAT
Hey!
I've worked over 1000 hours in dental offices as an assistant. I've worked chairside doing preop impressions, instrument passing, prepping rooms, sterilization, and pouring stone models, along with many other assistant jobs. I've also worked with a sleep apnea and TMD specialist in my area where I take PANs, deliver appliances, conduct follow ups and patient education, take digital impressions, adjust appliances, and communicate with sleep physicians and lab techs.
Thank you so much...

Referring for sleep studies
Looking for a primary care perspective. What is your approach to sleep study referral and why? I've seen some docs look for any and every excuse to order one (regardless of STOPBANG/ESS), and I've seen others look for every excuse not to. I've seen some patients fishing for a diagnosis of sleep apnea (for military disability rating), and others hope they don't have it because they can't imagine having to sleep with a CPAP.

Tricare
Has anyone else seen an enormous influx of Tricare in their practices?
Over the last several weeks, our practice has noticed that the number of referrals increased almost 10-fold. We are within an hour of a major military post so there is a large local military population. It seems to me that (at least ENT) has stopped seeing all dependents and retirees. They are also now referring active duty with non-surgical issues (dizziness, globus, sleep apnea, etc). We severely limit the amount of...

Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Systemic Hypertension

In FA it says an increase in pulse pressure is seen in OSA due to increased sympathetic tone, shouldn't it be the vice versa because with an increased symp tone total peripheric resistance will increase...

Mystery illness - seeking opinions
Hi! I guess I am just looking for opinions on whether or not I should seek CF testing. I'm sorry this is so long! Thank you in advance to anyone who can offer some advice.
I've been "sick" on and off for a few years now. As a child I had strep throat A LOT until my tonsils were removed. I was also suspected to have asthma. I don't know how it was decided I didn't. I cleared my throat absolutely constantly but to my knowledge this was not investigated. As a preteen I had a heart murmur that apparently went away and had a couple fainting episodes and was diagnosed with syncope.
I was pretty healthy through my t...
