10 Things Doctors Won't Tell You About Your Cpap Machine Novels & Stories

I fail to contain a strangled yelp as Jason turns the lamp beside the bed on. “I’m sorry. I guess you really are fearful of us.” He speaks a quiet apology as he steps away. “There’s a multi plug surge protector built into the nightstand. Is that the machine you were asking about?” “Yes. Dr. Carter managed to get Andre several compact models. Several of us in this group are medics so he made certain we got one along with a box of albuterol in the strength Cole currently takes.

No. There are no mysteries in this world—just truths that haven’t been uncovered yet.
