I very much appreciate that a non-medically associated observer can access this information. I am now vastly more informed about my pulmonary condition than ever before. Your illustrations and explanations are surprisingly comprehensible to a layman. You have masterful teaching skills.

Honestly, I didn't have any idea that in asthma, you start with anti-inflammatory treatment (ICS) and add bronchodilators if needed, and in COPD, you start with bronchodilators (LAMA/LABA) and only add steroids in specific cases. This course deserves 100 stars.
