Mom and aunt have COPD badly enough that they stopped walking. They can go a few step, but they won’t. My mom thinks she just needs a diagnosis and a pill and everything will be fine. Mom neglected her health for years and still smokes a lot! I don’t think the doctors understand how serious this is. They do not have supplemental oxygen because their O2 levels are always fine. Mom was seen in ER and labs and chest X-ray were fine. Discharged home! They are also extremely difficult patients and reject things like wheel chairs and commode. I have to go back to work! Ideas? Oh, and my aunt has rectal cancer and nobody knows what stage.
