I guess I have been fortunate. I am now 81 and my pulmonologist gladly took on my primary care and has really been wonderful. He jokes that with Bronc I need a private physician who only has one patient (me), but whenever I need help he is there.The care you get is definitely a function of the physician and no one should make treatment age dependent.Hope everyone has a great 2007.Tolly
