Does Anybody Else Get The Impression That Doctors And Consultants Are Not Listening To What You Are Trying To Tell Them In Regards To COPD

Many people feel that way. If you do, you need to say exactly what you're experiencing in words of one syllable, so there's no mistaking the issue. If you feel that people aren't listening to you or hearing you, find a new doc.

My pulmonologist busy with tons of patients ,and doesn’t want to open up Pandora’s box. Although when I had a video call with her, she asked me if I had any questions. I almost fell out of my Chair. She is a really good pulmonologist and has kept me well, so I put up with it. We’re don’t have an abundance of pulmonologists here in our beach town. And going an hour away to the doctor is not ideal.
