I don't know those "therapeutic pillows" might be lethal! HA!

[Your Name Here]

Have you never heard of "put to sleep"?

[New Kid In Town]

YNH,

I was thinking the same thing...

I think this may be the staff's attempt at a nap!

[the wonderer]

Y'all are way too funny! What a great way to start the morning.

[Haha]

The whole sleep center is funny. Money should have been spent to get some quality doctor out here. GCRMC is losing a lot of doctors now and in the future.

[Tankman]

My wife was being treated by Dr. Mueller and she really liked him. We were notified by his office that he would be leaving town but did not get the reason why.
What is the story of his relocation?
Just curious!

I used to bank at Bank 34 and someone got into my account and took all of our money out of it. We never got a phone call about it or anything. This happened in May and as of today, that bank is still investigating how it happened and who did it. The only thing that they do for us was to type up a letter letting the gas, electric and cable company know that what happened was not our fault and we had no knowledge of what happened. Sure did go to a different bank.

It's never the banks fault...they are just like the government which never accepts blame. Just ask good ole boy Frank and Dodd.

This just happened to someone I know that uses this bank. All the money was gone that was just deposited and checks were bouncing. They are investigating.

Right before Halloween? Sure it's a sleep center. It's a body harvesting clinic for Dr Frankenstein. ;-)

If you only new that sleep apnea is one of the leading causes of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and obesity. Medicine has now discovered that these diseases could possibly never occur if people are treated early enough. Sleep apnea is a killer for some if not treated. Perhaps someday you will have a complication and wish you would of looked into this a little further and not make a joke about it. The sleep center is by far not a waste of money but a benefit to our citizens. Many cities have sleep centers that are ran out of a hotel, you can see for once we are ahead in technology. I would encourage you to go to the open house and see exactly what this is all about before you decide to make fun of. Remember this benefits you!

I'm certainly going to be there. I'm quite happy to see this open. We were looking into going to LC. We called Dr. Simmons but he won't see anyone without a referral from the PCP. Well, we don't happen to have a PCP and our insurance doesn't require referral, and I can't see paying the better part of $100 to tell a stranger the answers to questions this doctor will probably ask again anyway. So I hope this sleep center can solve that problem. The worst of it is, a recent stay in the hospital several nurses were able to diagnose the problem. Sure wish we could have had it taken care of then. But that would have saved us money, so of course that wasn't possible.

We offered a little levity to lighten up topix. With all the disagreements lately, it's nice to see a little humor and people getting along. We all know what this sleep center mean to all. It's a good thing, no one disputes that. However getting angry only upsets you, not anyone else. I know 2 people with sleep apnea and they both have terrible health. This center may benefit them and I hope it does. Lighten up. No one is downing the center.:-)

I know sleep apnea can cause heart attacks and strokes but how does it cause diabetes and obesity? Generally obesity is the cause of sleep apnea. Made me curious because I looked on the internet and saw things but those two weren't included.

Because disruption of sleep cycles disrupt other systems as well, including your body's regulation of insulin. This can lead to obesity and diabetes.

Excess weight is a very common factor in people with sleep apnea. Once you become an apnea victim, even more weight piles on. Not only is the ability or desire to exercise even more decreased, sleep apnea seems to cause changes in the body that lead to weight gain.

Overeating and a lack of exercise are prime factors in the development of diabetes. Diabetes again leads back to depression and the same vicious circle.

Well we could start by finally taking down Bank 34 and Miles once and for all. He is the reason 2 wonderful people are leaving town (and possibly others).
Dirty business practices from a corrupt bank is who people have to thank for Dr. Mueller leaving town. Hopefully I will be able to release the name of the other person which will shock animal lovers everywhere.
Very sad people still give Bank 34 any business. After Sunbaked you would have thought people would have woken up. Maybe if people kept an eye on the court records for Alamogordo Financial, Bank 34 or Alamogordo Federal they might reconsider banking or doing any business with Bank 34. Considering what is alleged in the lawsuits it is no wonder the Bank changed it's name. Hard to keep up with the court records under the new name.
One would think the bank would cut ole Miles loose once and for all considering all the trouble he has gotten this bank into.
If you want good doctors to come into this town and stay you might want to consider doing business with a bank who is the cause of running one of the best doctors out of town. Because of this corruption with this bank how many other good doctors will avoid coming here afraid of being royally screwed and run the risk of lossing so much to relocate here? Any doctor with any sense would not take such a risk and have to wonder if this is normal business practice for all the local banks since people are still doing business with Bank 34.

I was just wondering....
You dont sem to have a problem naming names on this thread.
Arent these "allegations" rather dangerous?
Do you have proof of anything dirty going on?

They are not allegations they are court records. Both Plaintiffs have very strong cases, very well documented.
