...and some of us educate our doctors about bronchiectasis! I agree with you for a MAC diagnosis you want someone who has treated it before you.

I tend to think we all learn together, every case we have is so unique.

Yes, I think many of us educate our primary care physicians about BE. Pulmonologist says that’s because BE is a rare disease but some doctors are just better at listening to patients and are interested in diagnosing an issue. Others, not so much. Mine said well an X-ray is only as good as the technician reading it. Finally got a CT scan and sputum test. Be your own advocate. Primary care physicians should know about BE. It is listed on any website as a chronic lung disease.
