Physician Apnea

Road Kill and SDB

Aside from drunk drivers, there is nothing more dangerous than drowsy drivers on our highways. Sleepy drivers doze off and kill people every single day. Have your patients visit this web site and take the David White Sleep Apnea Screening Tool to see if they are putting themselves and other drivers at risk.

The National Highway Safety Administration conservatively estimates that there is an average of 11 driver fatigue-related police-reported crashes every single hour of which 1,550 of them result in death. That adds up to some nightmarish statistics- 71,000 injuries and $12.5 billion in monetary losses. The most affected group of drowsy driver is the under 25 group. Keep your patients safe. Don't let them drive and doze.
