You need to have this video hosted on your own servers, not on KZbin. Or turn off the monetizing feature. Having your patients watch this video while on a Zoom call with the pre-lung transplant coordinator and having several scammy monetizing commercials play between a bunch of really serious, scary information is neither professional nor acceptable.

I'm 72 and had my Transplant and a LAD bypass, September 30,2022 10 1/2 months ago. I fought IPF for 8 years before it came to the point of a transplant or a dirt nap. I was lucky that once I was approved for the list, (basically because of my age) I only waited 2 1/2 weeks to get the call. I was only able to get the one lung basically because of age. I had no problem with that, as I'm not going to be as active as a younger guy. So 2 of us each got a lung in side by side ORs. Minor complications kept me on a ventilator for 12 days in the acute ICU. Then transferred to the regular ICU 5 days I think. Rang the bell and up to the 8th floor I went. November 4 I was sent home feeling very weak but breathing better already then I had in years. Then the next 3 months were up and down. Mostly because of med adjustments and a short bout with pneumonia in my bad lung. At the end of February I woke up with a cough that kept getting more and more intense. By the next morning I had a 104.3 fever blurred vision, and this cough. Call my coordinator and she said to do a COVID test and call her back ASAP and get ready to come to the ER. The test was positive, called her and said we are on our way it was positive. Spent 10 days in hell COVID. I can honestly say I have never in my life been that sick. If someone said to me COVID or a lung transplant, I honestly would pick the transplant. Lost all taste and smell and still get major brain fog. Covid knocked me back to almost the beginning of my rehab. Now it's the middle of August 1 month and a 1/2 from my 1 year trans plant day. I'm doing good still not 100% but I'm thankful for what I do have going for me. The doctor told me That I fought a hard battle and came out on top. He gave me a 🫁👍 and said I said he was proud of me. The first month I had lost over 40 lbs and gained a little back. The toughest is muscle loss. I was in great shape for an old head as the job I worked for over 50 yrs. was very physical. I really think that's what made me strong enough to have the surgery. My whole team, from doctors treated me with respect and kindness through all of this and still are. For once in my life I took what my doctors said seriously. I did what they said to do when they said to do it. I did have my surgery at this Hospital as I live near Philly. I went to a University Lung Center in Philly. My advice to anyone who reads this is a couple things to make it easier. 1. Relax don't let anxiety eat you up. 2. You need to trust your surgeon 100% no question about it. 3. Be in the best shape you can be in before surgery 4. Don't get upset about set backs it bound to happen at some point. Do what the Dr says and go with the flow. 5. NEVER GIVE UP EVER. You just received a 2nd chance at life. It might not always go as planned,but NEVER give up. 6. You will be on more meds then ever imagined. You can have side effects and reactions that you won't like. Adjustments will always be made until they figure your case out as everyone is different. 7. Enjoy your new life it is truly a gift worth fighting for. God Bless you all
