Episode 87 is all about the 3rd most common cause of death in the United States: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Joining me to discuss this extremely important clinical topic is Philadelphia-area interventional pulmonologist Dr. Nina Maouelainin. Dr. Nina is the founder of Lung Health Services and the Women in Interventional Pulmonology organization. We discussed what COPD is, the causes, risk factors, diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis. It is the perfect clinical application of the respiratory system. You can watch Dr. Nina’s Ted Talk about Urgent Care and you can find her on Instagram.
