Bid to help snorer
NZPA-Reuter San Francisco An operation similar to removing the tonsils has been developed for chronic cases of snoring, physicians at Stanford University Medical Centre, San Francisco, said yesterday. About 250 snorers have already been operated on successfully, according to the surgeon, Dr Martin Hopp. “One fellow had a real financial hardship,” Dr Hopp said. “He and his wife travelled together on business, and he snored so loudly they had to take separate motel rooms.” Another patient, he said, had his nose broken three times while in the Army by fellow soldiers who could not sleep because of his snoring.
