Notas del episodio
Episode 30 of The Health Exchange Podcast spotlights chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition that affects millions but is still widely misunderstood. Guest Mr. Tom Gill, a long time COPD patient and advocate, joins Dr. Rutland to unpack what makes this disease so complex to manage and why early diagnosis often slips through the cracks. They talk through key lifestyle changes, how pulmonary rehab actually works, and the importance of breaking down stigma for patients who feel blamed for their condition. Whether you're a caregiver, clinician, or someone living with COPD, this episode offers a grounded and human look at what better care and communication could look like.
