Where are the #Pulmonologists on @bsky.app ?

What say you
The agency sent an email, following the publication of an article by two #VA #pulmonologists in The #NewEnglandJournalofMedicine warned that the #Trump administration mass cancellation of contracts & planned staff reduction of 80,000 VA employees is putting the health of a million #veterans at risk,
It’s challenging for BE pts without access to #pulmonologists who support #airwayclearance to advocate for themselves, especially without US guidelines.
It would be amazing if the guidelines were unveiled next week at the N American #Bronchiectasis & #NTM Conference.

The US still lacks non-CF #bronchiectasis guidelines making it challenging for patients to advocate for optimal care. Without these guidelines, many #pulmonologists do not recommend #airwayclearance. This means patients can’t get a #nebulizer & #Aerobika that require prescriptions. #GuidelinesPlease
