Yes, this is the field of medicine I specialized in for many years. Unfortunately, I am not a candidate for a "pluck procedure" which is a bilateral lung transplant. When Obama care kicked in, those of us over 70 years of age became ineligible for many procedures, including certain neurosurgical and transplant procedures. Under Obamacare, we are to be given palliative drugs and allowed to die.

My only hope is the new medications that I am taking, which, according to my pulmonary docs, may give me another 2 years, but at the rate I'm going downhill, I doubt this is the case. I am currently living on just 30 percent of my lung capacity. Hey, I ain't dead yet.
