> it's because the existing process to get medical treatment is paternalistic, hard to navigate and often expensive I ended up paying over $1k out of pocket for two inconclusive sleep studies trying to get my sleep issue sorted out. I'm fortunate to work in technology where I can pay that sort of thing, but I still got zero results from my local medical community. I can't blame anyone for seeking self-treatment options. It can be pretty bad even with "good" insurance and the ability to cover co-insurance.
