Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Respiratory system is an essential biological system, which provides the body with oxygen that is necessary to carry out vital functions in the body. This system is segregated into upper and lower respiratory system. Lungs are considered to be the prime organ, which helps the organism to breathe and also provides the site for the exchange of the gases. Any abnormalities in this may lead to fatal and life-threatening conditions.

- Don Paladio had been a pharmacist in New York City. He retired to Florida and spent the better part of everyday swimming in the Gulf. He was healthy and strong. Gradually, however, his years of smoking began to compromise his lung's capacity. Soon, he could not swim at all. He enjoyed the beach from under his umbrella. Eventually, the trips to the beach were not possible. The diagnosis was pulmonary emphysema and COPD. Oxygen was needed, and his activities were diminished to cooking dinner for his wife and himself. Don was embarrassed about the oxygen tank and would no longer go out in public. He died when he was 85. 1.Discuss the impact of both diseases in Don's life 2.What, if anything, could have been done to make his suffering less difficult? 3.Identify characteristics of such long-term chronic illnesses that are particularly difficult. ***INCLUDE CITATIONS IN MLA 9TH EDITION PERDUE OWL***arrow_forwardJulienne , a 25 y/o bank teller was rushed to the hospital due to ruptured appendix and has undergone appendectomy.
