This is the best explanation out there!

Thank you thank you for the most concise explanation of my disease. My pulmonologist does not take the time to explain it in terms that I understand. Your 8 minutes did more for me than his expensive 15 minutes every few months :( You are a blessing. Thank you!

Thank you. For a clear explanation of interstitial lung disease, I've been dealing with interstitial lung disease, autoimmune disease, hypoxia. It's been a real struggle. And you have been the only doctor that really clearly explained that I understand

Excellent information I have just been diagnosed with ILD I’m 78 years old female Had lupus in my thirty’s Lung bacteria in my sixties and now this. I have a very good attitude and plan to live awhile longer

Really helpful I'm writing an assignment at the moment and this really helped. Can't believe you only have 600 subs you deserve way more

I've just been diagnosed with ILP that has been sped up from COVID pneumonia. Im on oxygen & now in PT. Thank you for your explanation -

You did a phenomenal job of explaining IPF.

as with so many others here, i want to thank you for explaining ILD so easily and so clearly. I have pulmonary alveola proteinosis and my specialist in London couldn't explain it better ❤

That was the best explanation ever! My husband has had this over 30 years. We did not know what had happened when he was 21, but felt confident it had something to do with a chemical inhalation and an autoimmune reaction. The inflammation went on too long and it caused scaring. We found a good Pulmonogist and he put him on Prednisone 20mg every other day. Inflammation reduced and he was able to function almost normaly. He never could run a marathon, but otherwise fine. Until 2018, he started taking heart meds, developed a cough, kidney cancer, put on Tamsulosin. Chemotherapy, lots of steroids reduced inflammation. Kidney out cancer gone. CT showed blood clots or infiltrates in lungs. Still on heart meds, Tamsulosin. Out of breath, back and forth to doctors, put on antibiotics. Feb. 2019 went into ARDs. Two months in hospital. Almost died. Ventilator, induced coma. Plasmafloresis and high dose steroids pulled him out of ARDS. Came home on 10L of O2. Took a year, but was almost off O2, then lung collapsed in April of this year. Placed in covid ward based on his imagining. Test negative. Two more lung collapses. He was off all heart meds by this time and off Tamsulosin. But prostate problem put back on Tamsulosin. Lung function decreased O2 sats bad. Tamsulosin caused problems as observation by visiting nurse. Increased Prednisone. Problems resolved, but lung collapsed again. Lung surgery to correct, put on prostate med in same family as Tamsulosin. Went into ARDs again. Back in covid ward. On high O2, treated with high dose steroids just like the covid patients there. Improved. Total covid tests 6 negative. This is drug induced sensitivity pneumoniatis leading to ILD. What is going on? And why are covid patients having the same complications? Are their medications causing the complications?

Hi. Very informational. I have Lupus, RA, and ILD. Getting tried when moving is an everyday thing for me. Makes you want to just not do nothing.

Thank you so much for this clear and concise description of ILD. I was recently hospitalized and was able to review my radiology reports in our patient portal and saw this diagnosis of my lungs. There was no mention of it in the hospital and I haven't had my follow up with my pulmonologist yet, but it's good to have this info when I have the conversation with him. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to more informative presentations. Thanks again! God bless! :)

Thank you this was a great presentation. I have pulmonary fibroisis on the bases of both lungs mild copd and empezima scattered in my lungs but I am doing good I am very blessed that yearly ct scans show no progression. I have had Drs that have suggested RA and connective tissue disease but no actual diagnoisis of them. There are times bloodwork RA factor high and other times not. I also am pre diabetic A1C 6.6 and have 3 stents in my heart from CAD right main left main and the LAD as well as thyroid levels sometimes high sometimes not and high blood pressure even on meds still runs high before the end of the day and my knees are. I dont have much faith in Drs I have seen including specailists that keep me on medications and dont care to explore what is causing all these issues refill prescriptions and see you back in 6 months next... Recently I went to a local event which I came across a vendor and purchased 100% Cold pressed Extra virgin CBD oil 0% thc for health benefits. I have had a chronic cough for years. From the first dose my cough got better! My voice didnt sound hoarsh I dont feel out of breathe I can walk up and down steps without feeling I can hardly breathe and all my energy drainned my blood pressure has been pretty normal and even low. This has felt like magic! I have been using this about a week. I am feeling better than I have in a very long time . My focus is better.and no fatigue is gone not as much pain in my hands and legs. I am so thankful and feel like Im going to live and feel like myself again God is so good!!!! I wanted to share this hoping it will help others too!

Awesome explaining 😊

Thank you for this presentation DR. I’ve been an RRT for about 30 years now and like my old respiratory professor, you have the ability of being able to clearly explain complex issues in easy to understand terms. 👌

I thank you so much for such a clear and concise explanation. We still don't know cause and I do not know which long form Covid-19, MTX shots and/or autoimmune disease played a role in it's development. I already have asthma so the symptoms have been perplexing.

Per a CT Scan, it has been determined that I have ILD. Thias coming Monday I will be seeing a pulmonologist to further diagnose. Your explanation was excellent.

Don’t apologize for being technical. I have learned a lot in each video. I like that you present it in a way that we should understand what’s going on in our lungs. Taking the time too share your incredible knowledge shows not only your dedication to what you do, though I felt that before watching the videos, but that you care about your patience and that we need to also understand.

I’m a new Pulm PA and this is so helpful. Thanks! Going to binge your videos lol.

You really deconstructed the subject, Sir. Now, It's very easy to start the section on Harrison 's internal med. Thank you so much and best regards🍃

Don't apologize for being technical. This is great information to have.

Great explanation. It was crystal clear and the way you repeated the tech terms twice was best way to remember. Thank you Doctor aka Teacher.. Keep inspiring.

YOU ARE SO GOOD AT EXPLAINING AND TEACHING!!

Hello that was the best explanation I ever heard , I have had IPF sense 2015 I,m on oxygen ,but would like to try the new medication to slow down the fibrous . I,m also afraid to go out because of covid-19, but I have too , go to my doctors soon. God be with me and protect me Amen

Great explanation!!!!! Very easy to understand the way you explained it.

Thank you! I have ILD and have been given very little information on my condition. I found this very helpful. Keep up the great work!

Thank you I’ve asked you about this previously but I assume you didn’t have time so I’m thankful you gave this video being that I was diagnosed with a 3 hitter interstitial lung disease, sarcoidosis, pulmonary fibrosis. So thanks again we talked , well I tried to talk to u briefly about my situation but wasn’t much feedback so this was helpful

You are so easy, positive and make sure its explained well.. I have Bronchiestesis and IPF and get confused with info. You make it easy to understand. Pam Coleman, Crewe, Cheshire UK

Thank you for your explanation! Keep helping people keep me. Just diagnosed withIPF.!

The best lay explaination yet. Better than my Dr.

Thank you dr. J! The way that you tell us here is really helpful. Can’t wait for another video

I love the way you explained everything about the lungs

Thank you for this video.’r best friend passed away a few days ago. She was diagnosed with ILD on 09/07/22 and passed 12/01/22. Please take this DIAGNOSIS VERY SERIOUS

Great explanation Doctor, Thank you !👍

I know if I nurse a client with ILD for my Nursing Council exam next week this video will definitely help me give them the best care.

Brand new APRN in Pulmonology and these videos are so helpful… would love written illustrations of your videos and please make a video on sarcoidosis, lung nodules and when to biopsy, PFTs vs spirometry and how to diagnose copd vs asthma, how to tell obstructive and air trapping from a PFT, Covid long haulers, DOE lungs vs heart

I AM A TEACHER AND I ALSO SUFFER FROM ILD AND YOU ARE GREAT AS A TEACHER AND AS A THERAPIST

Very helpful video, you explain so clearly. That’s a gift.

Very informative and easy to understand

The most helpful and easy to understand explanation of ILD .... thank you 😊

Thank you for an excellent video. Clear, understandable explanations of the various components of this disease.

You are amazing. May God continue to bless you in your journey of healing.

Best explanation! Got the concept the first time !!!

Thanks, Doc! I have ILD caused by lupus, and it really difficult to get others to understand.

Thank you for the presentation. I have a ILD (not fibrosis thank God) and taking steroids right now, 20 mg prednisone/day. The max dose I had was 100 mg for week and reduced it back to 5mg per day after 10-11 months. Unfortunately, at that amount I had symptoms again and was hospitalized for 3 days. But, I m good now. I walked the other day 10 km. For what I was told, many people have a recurrence during tapering of the dose. I also did BAL bronchoscopy and all the other tests.

The best explanation without slides. Tq!

I was disgnosed in march 2022 with basilar ILD and minimal obstructive airways disease after covid pneumonia and hospitalization for hypoxia,tachychardia and so on. The pulminologist was very rude and did not provide a clear diagnosis I had to read my paperwork and do dresearch...so far only treatment is inhaler and nasal spray. I wasnt even told its a lung disease and that its permanent. I still have pain when i take deep breathes and feel stiffness ...the doctor has listened to my lungs the other day and hears crackling. I wish I was treated by a good pulminoglost like you who cares about patient.

Love your videos, I love the technichal stuff! You explained it so well, it was easy to follow along :)

This was very helpful. I just got diagnosed with ILD. Although I have had my symptoms for 2yrs now. They thought it was sarcoidosis but after several biopsies its not. I have gotton so bad I can't do ANTHING. I feel I'm a candidate for lung transplant but my Dr hasn't really mention it. They just want to put me on steroids which won't help my breathing just the coughing. They is so overwhelming. Once again very informative.

This was such a good explanation. I feel so frustrated about my diagnosis and treatment. I do have IPF, but all that is being done is supplemental 02. One doctor (pulmonologist) thinks we should just wait and see. Another doctor (rheumatologist is unsure if it is caused by Sjogren's Syndrome. I am 70 and not ready to give up on my health. I am in Montana with limited IPF doctors (I think the closest specialist is over 300 miles away.

Thank you so much Doctor. God bless you for your interest in show us medicine topics.

Thanks for the lengthy explanation. This was very informative. What state do you practice in?

Great explanation Doc. I was diagnosed with ILD.in June 2015 after lung functions all type of test and bio.conclusion of having NSIP. I appreciate your video. God bless.

Great Video on ILD and IPF - I would LOVE to see another video on IPF and your workup on patients. How do you determine IPF from other ILDS?

You are an awsome teacher. I finally understand what is intestinal lung. However, my doctor did not do anything. Are they levels when you need treatment? Thanks again for the explanation.

Thank you for good explanation!!!It's will help me a lot on my exam!

Thank you for explaining precisely it was way more useful for me

My mother was a telemetry nurse diagnosed with IPF; and no biopsy. Her doctors (former coworkers) just gave up on her. I wish this video was out around 3 or 4 years ago. She suffered through an IPF drug trial which excluded Sjögren’s or Lupus patients (which I and another sibling have been diagnosed with). Thank you for putting this information out for public consumption.

Omg this was the greatest explanation I’ve come across in the last 4 years ! I’ve been taking care of my mom who’s been diagnosed with ILD. It’s crazy because she’s in her early 50’s and the coughing has gotten persistent. Dr, are there any meds that you recommend to slow down the scarring of the lungs other than Prednisone ?

Beautifully explained with most relevant slides. Now I am able to figure out what I am suffering from. Brilliant. I appreciate and admire the clarity in the presentation.

Excellent video! Thank you, Dr. Rutland

Awesome buddy thank you so much for the information well delivered

Excellent!

Thank you for the video

Thank you. Very helpful!

I am a new subscriber

I have just been diagnosed with ILD but my specialist does not seem to be treating it as an urgent issue. I have had no treatment because she wants to take my case to a team of lung specialists that meets monthly. That means I have to wait for two months to see her again. In the mean time my breathing is getting worse and my cough is sounding different. It is worrying me that no treatment has been suggested.

Since I have it I want to know everything

We wanna see daily vlogs of u (:

Thanks it helpfull to understand
