What are the stages and symptoms of Bronchiectasis?

Yikes..@raney ! You are being seen by just an NP and the Pulmo will not see you without a written request? If I were you I would be looking for a Pulmonologist that cared for his/her patients. Sorry to be so blunt and to put in my 2 cents ..but sounds as though you are just being shuffled around and not getting good care or even the attention from the Doc. I would be running, not walking from this.

Goodness Raney I agree with alleycatkate. I think you are a nice person and perhaps they took advantage of your niceness.
I am not nice and would have demanded a piece of paper and would have written right then and there that I insist on seeing the DOCTOR WHATEVER that I made the appointment to see and not a substitute.
The nerve of the practice to assign your treatment to a nurse practitioner. I don't mean any disrespect to np"s and they are mostly wonderful in what they do. But this disease is serious, you have a mess of special issues and you should be treated by a doctor.
