What is the best way to care for a person with COPD?
Both patient and family need an effective approach to managing this disease. We have come up with an acronym for COPD that may help. COPD is: Co-Operation of Patient and Doctor. This implies disease control where the patients role is to do good daily management; the doctors role is to direct; and the familys role is to provide support and encouragement. This is a truly co-operative effort! By this method, patients and their families can enjoy a more normal and fulfilling life in spite of this disease.
