Lung Disease Meeting Wednesday
I hope to see you on Wednesday for the next Harrison Medical Center’s Respiratory BB Support Group Program.
I’m disappointed we’re not having the meeting I’d expected with a Sleep Study M.D. doc and an explanation of … “is cycling healthier for a lung patient with right heart failure than walking.”
That said, I’m looking forward to the topic of the newest home and portable nebulizer machines and hope new nebulizer meds are mentioned In particular, I’d like to know what the latest nebulizer medications are and how they work in comparison to the old Albuterol.
