Palliative care for pulmonary fibrosis

In this episode I discuss the role of palliative care in the treatment and management of pulmonary fibrosis. Palliative care is not only end-of-life care, it is a way to cope with chronic irreversible conditions, in order to live as well as possible.
It is a multidisciplinary approach to care of the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of a person suffering from pulmonary fibrosis.

I have ppf. I am 57. I have not begun oxygen support, but I think its months away. I would like to read up about when, what and how to tell the broader community about my condition. Family and friends are supportive and prepared for my condition moving from invisible to visible, but what about young teenagers who I engage with as tutor and part time teacher. As a teacher, I see opportunity to educate and empower people around me, but what about respecting the wishes of others...my engagement with young people brings me happiness and fulfilment, but I do not want to impose my lived reality on them. I really do feel stuck. Do I remove myself from the community or do I normalise my oxygen support as an extension of me?

Hello Dr. I was consulted today by mycoplasma pneumonia in my chest, I don't really don't know what it means. Can you please speak about it.
