Episode 66 : Case Study #7: 55-Year-Old Man Presenting for Follow-Up of Chronic Cough - a podcast by Operation Podcast
from 2021-05-10T07:00
A 55-year-old man comes into your office for follow-up of a chronic cough. He also complains of shortness of breath with activity. He reports that this has been getting worse over time. As you are interviewing the patient, you note that he smells of cigarette smoke. Upon further questioning, he reports smoking one pack of cigarettes per day for the past 35 years and denies ever being advised to quit. On examination, he is in no respiratory distress at rest, his vital signs are normal, and he has no obvious signs of cyanosis. His pulmonary examination is notable for reduced air movement and faint expiratory wheezing on auscultation.
