Book: A must read!

This book has to be purchased used. However, it is invaluable. COPD, Emphysema, ILD, ALPHA 1 genetic disease, bronchial diseases. So much deep information, yet well explained & understandable. I can’t recommend this book enough!

Did you get info link from Efforts by chance for the book?

I hadn't realised Dr Petty has died in 2009, nor that he was the first to organize a pulmonary rehabilitation program and to show the beneficial effects of long-term oxygen therapy in COPD.

He did some good work in his life.

Thanks for sharing Maricopa

You may have known Anne from Kent UK (also passed many years ago) she was a great fan of Dr Petty.
