I will start doing a weekly video blog. (Are people really calling them Vlogs?) I will keep them fairly brief and will either give a sleep tip or will answer a question. So if you have questions concerning normal sleep or sleep disorders, then leave them as comments on my blog and I will try to address them. Please keep in mind that I will not be able to attend to all questions and that my answers are not a substitute for a consultation with a physician.
On another note, I am putting out a call for a PA (Physician Assistant) to begin work for me ASAP in a full or part-time capacity. The successful candidate need not have experience in the sleep field nor does s/he need PA experience, i.e. fresh out of PA school is fine. The essential attributes are: stong people skills, attention to detail and willing to acquire multiple skills. Sleep Medicine is a new and exciting field that will only keep growing as our healthcare system tries to refocus on preventive medicine. Sleep Apnea, Insomnia, and Sleep Deprivation are some of the sleep disorders that significantly increase your risk of developing chronic medical problems that debilitate Americans and cost the system vast sums of money. Medical conditions which can be prevented by treating underlying sleep disorders include: Heart Disease, Cardiac arrhythmias, Stroke, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Obesity, Depression, Dementia, Impotence.
