They manipulate how and when they measure outcomes to make it appear there is improvement. An example: measure O2 levels after rest instead of the activity! My Dad's numbers were always made to "look good" on documentation but his actual endurance, SOB, and Pox in completing ADLs was unchanged. Go somewhere else that is dedicated to real...
