Heresy... someone please put me where I belong

[Guest guest]

I want to know why I need a pulmonologist? I know what I have. I know there is

no cure. I am in rehab and developing a home program. I have the equipment I

need and an oximeter to self monitor. I see my GP regularly and take pretty

good care of myself. I eat well and have a positive attitude (if I stay away

from pulmonologists). I have been to the National Jewish Health Center. I do

not need to know how quickly I am going down hill. I intend to maintain status

quo as long as possible.

Someone please put me in my place and tell me my thinking is wrong.
