The Nurse Practitioners in the sleep department don't seem to care about my health. Neither nurse practitioner I've seen with this department reviewed any of my past medical notes to gain a better understanding of why I was there.  They seem to both care about moving on to the next patient and rushing through their computer charting.  My exam in my most recent visit only consisted of the nurse practitioner listening to one area of my heart, and using a very small pen style flashlight to take a very brief look in my mouth. Not sure how she saw anything.   The provide I saw the most recent visit told me I needed to use my CPAP for at least 4 hours a night.  When I asked why, she said it was for insurance purposes.  I asked what health benefits I would see from using it, and she wasn't really able to tell me anything more than "yes, you'll see health benefits".  When I asked specifically which ones, she said I would feel more rested.  She then told me to follow up in 1 year.  I asked why I needed to wait 1 year, and she said "insurance only makes us check in once a year."  I asked what concerns I should watch for prior to that time, and when I should notify them.  She said to call if I noticed problems sleeping.  This confirmed she had not read my chart, as I wasn't referred for witnessed sleeping problems, but rather as a potential complication of other health issues.    I was hopeful changing sleep medicine providers would be advantageous for my health. However, neither sleep provider I've seen offered any insight.    How disappointing.
