Hugh Magnus believes he is a living example of the benefits of Toronto Rehab research. It all began last fall when the 54-year-old went on vacation to Jamaica. He decided not to bring the CPAP device that had helped him control his sleep apnea for years.
Looking back, he thinks it was a serious mistake.
A few days into his holiday, Magnus began to have breathing trouble, especially at night. Talking to his sister one afternoon, he suddenly realized he couldn’t move in his chair. His sister, a nurse, whisked him to hospital where he was treated for a stroke.
