I cannot take credit for posting the videos which were shared by tdrell. I was referred to Dr McShane by another outstanding pulmonologist at the U of Chicago when my sputum sample came back positive for MAC. Yes, I am very lucky to have her for my physician. In addition to her doctoring, she is so optimistic that I told her that I was going to record her if she called again. She had called to reassure me with respect to a scary fungus (mucor) which showed up in a sputum sample. We have a great rapport and I think people can see from her video that appointments with her are not only productive but fun.

@rits Hello, I had Mucor show up in a sputum sample too, but doc thinks it was just a contaminant (since I’m not deathly ill). Let’s stay in touch.

@rits I actually enjoyed my appointments with Dr. Leventhal at Mayo Clinic, but unfortunately for me; he retired this past August. The Dr. that has replaced him seems to be very invested in this mac disease. I have not met her yet, but I did read her bio and some of her published articles she has written about her observations in treating NTM. I will meet her next June.
