Please help me. I really am doing all I can to help my dad. I took him to get a consult for the valve burn the Doctor was very rude and refused to do the valve procedure on my dad because he was diagnosed with early stage lung cancer a year ago. Had it treated already. First words that came out his mouth was, " Sorry to hurt your bubble , but I am not doing the zephyr valve procedure on your dad. Sorry Kid." Broke my heart. Luckily my dad doesn't speak much English , but I felt the pain of the redness within me. I know their has to be someone who can help , and allow my dad to get the procedure so he can live a more normal life , and do some of the things he loves to do. 🙏
