Hi there.
My mother has been heading to Springfield once a year for pulmonary rehab for quite some time now. To be honest, she finds the whole process pretty intense, but it does provide long-term benefits. Over the last few years, they’ve started taking the exercises much more seriously—there’s no opting out just because someone finds it difficult; you show up and get it done. They do a lot of work on the stepper machines, tailoring lung capacity exercises to each patient's specific diagnosis. If you're looking for a recommendation, go to Springfield... you won't find a better pulmonary team out there.

Hello there.
A family member of mine needs a follow-up bronchoscopy soon, as their last one was nine years ago. Last time, they underwent the procedure under general anesthesia, but this time it looks like they're opting for local anesthetic instead. Apparently, everything will be fully transparent and conscious, which is... quite something. 😱 Does anyone have experience with this? Can a patient typically walk out of the hospital normally afterward, and is there anything specific to watch out for? Any lingering pain to expect?
I am just a bit concerned about how much of a shock this might be to the system.
Thanks for your input.

Ladies... has anyone else dealt with their period being late after a round of antibiotics or a particularly nasty bout of the flu😢? A week or two before starting the antibiotics, I took Plan B 😢...it was back on May 1st, right when I was feeling absolutely miserable from the virus. My cycle has stayed regular since then, but now, nothing is showing up 😢...I have been sexually active, specifically on January 8th, where there was one instance of unprotected contact followed by withdrawal 🙄—which we all know isn't foolproof—though it was during my non-fertile window. Now I'm dealing with these incredibly annoying breast pains, some pelvic discomfort, bloating, and indigestion... yet still no sign of my period
