Manage episode 334399950 series 3364466
Screening patients is not just about the form you use.
It isn’t about the Mallampati or the Epworth.
It’s all about the daily impact on the patient.
Unfortunately, patients are often skeptical or confrontational about their issues.
Dr. Mona Patel explores the depths of Sleep Related Breathing disorders' comorbidities.
We are going deeper than forms and intra-oral signs. We will show you the impact this has on the patient so that when you recommend a test you can clearly explain the alternatives to the patient.
