Lifes Twists, what was funny for me at the hospital was that I was asked a half dozen times by various doctors/medical personnel whether the doctor I had seen for over 3 years had ever done a bronchoscopy on me before.
And every time I said "no" they looked at me in disbelief. So apparently the doctors where I live believe this is something essential to have done when treatments/medication are not working.
Oh, and during the procedure they flushed all of the infection out of my lungs and they feel soooo much better. Good luck!
