Sorta Like Standing Next to Jonah When the Whale Swallowed Him

Phillips is buying Respironics.

So? You might ask. Respironics bought Pro-Tech a couple of weeks ago. Pro-Tech is the company I used to work for. My division was split off into another company called SleepEx; so we avoided the whole whale-swallowing episode.

No wonder Phillips wanted them. Talk about growth industries! With the high incidence of asthma, sleep apnea, and other breathing problems, they're laughing all the way to the bank.
