Episode 14
Welcome to Sick Enough, the podcast about hospital doctors, hospital issues, and the health conditions we commonly encounter.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease that we commonly encounter in the hospital, and it's usually a consequence of tobacco abuse, though age and genetic factors can also play a role. In this episode, we discuss what COPD is, and how it can suddenly cause severe breathing problems.
