At NJH and need to vent

Hi Terry, The Dr in Atlanta is Colin Swenson. He has an excellent reputation re Mac and Bronk. I requested NJH forward all my records to him. I want copies too..
I was extremely angry and disappointed the day I wrote my “vent” blog. Have experienced a lot of incompetent drs in Georgia and it pushed my buttons. Patients are people , who have feelings and don’t feel well, and they should be treated with kindness and respect……..
There have been a lot of good people here and a lot of tests etc. I’m trying to think of that and not the hurtful episodes.
I didn’t know I have COPD. I really don’t have symptoms. He thinks it’s cause my parents smoked. I’m a little scared cause I have three things. Mac, Bronk and COPD. I’m going to start walking when I get home and make some lifestyle changes………I’m getting a vest and will co tinge nebulizing with 7%……..
How are you doing?

I am actually doing well and while at NJH they added the vest and inhaled Amikacin to the
Big 3. So far no side effects from Amikacin.
I know you mentioned seeing Dr. Daley next week (he was one of my doctors) and I think you will really like him. He always spent as much time as I need and answered all of my questions. I really hope your experience with him will be much better than what you described earlier.
Just keep absorbing all the positive/informative info and you will come home with a wealth of knowledge on this disease/treatment.
