    Navy ELT to EMT-P got a reaction from davidlj1958 in Dr Ellis IMO thoughts?   
    No this was actually done prior to my C/P.  I filled a FDC and assumed that he would also fill out DBQs.  He is defiantly a advocate but he will not fill out a DBQ, he feels that the checkbox format limits his way to express his military decision making.  My C/P exam was done by a contracted provider.  The doc seemed, by her questions to be looking for evidence to support my claims, but who knows....
     
    Like he says, I had symptoms of sleep apnea in the service but was not diagnosed until 5 years after discharge.  I know that this would be a tough claim so I wanted to have all my ducks in a row. 
     
    On my hypertension, I had several readings in the service, towards the end with by diastolic above 90.  That should have probably been referenced also as my claim is for HTN as a primary SC condition.  This sets me up to have it as a secondary.  
    I have pretty strong buddy statements from a shipmate and my wife as well.  
     
    Thank you for your thoughts as always
