摘要
This article, co-authored by a patient affected by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and a respiratory specialist, discusses the patient's experience of living with the disease and, in particular, the impact of COPD exacerbations on his life. The physician discusses the clinical approach to COPD exacerbations. Together, they provide a call to action to improve the management of COPD exacerbations.
