I was hospitalized 11 days in Arkansas at a St. Vincent's. Unknown lung issue? Because I had cardiac stents placed and am taking plavix, the pulmonologist was unable to take tissue, however did a bronchoscopy wash??? Specimens were sent to Mayo for pathology. We have a patient portal that says new test results are in but won't show me the results? my post-discharge follow-up with pulmonology was supposed to be on October 22nd and on Friday they called to move me up I go tomorrow to get the results funny thing is here in Arkansas you see the nurse practitioner before you see the specialist so I don't know if I'm getting delivered good news or bad news or if they're going to tell me they still don't know

@seanlroop you may have noticed I removed your email from your post. I appreciate the generous offer to @tcont2000 to share your personal contact information to answer questions etc. However, I'd also like to underline the benefit of sharing here on the forum. It was because of the sharing here that @tcont2000 was able to find these conversations in the first place. By asking questions and getting answers here, you will both be creating a treasure trove of valuable information and first hand experience for those with COPD and interstitial lung disease. I encourage you to continue your exchange on Connect and thank you for being willing to do so.
