Doctor’s house was burning. Now he treats the effects of fires with neighbors.

Another long -lasting problem is lung fibrosis, a progressive disease in which scars thickened and hardened lung tissue, hindering oxygen to transition to the bloodstream. Dr. Elsayegh describes the lungs with pulmonary fibrosis as a “stiff balloon from a party store” – your face is rinsing when you try to force air inside, but simply refuses to inflate.

As a former resident of Palisades, who intends to return to the area, Dr. Elsayge will also double as a trusted confidant, based on his personal experience to lend a hand his patients in meeting with uncertainty and find solutions – or at least next steps.

“In the perfect world I went there and I would say:” Everyone who lives in Palisads and in La, everyone moves. Let’s go somewhere else and we don’t have to worry about it, “he said. “This is not a reality. I try to find this incredibly tough balance that it helps us return to normal or return to our lives, but doing it as safely as possible.”

At the beginning of February, Dr. Elsayegh took a chair next to Dany Michels, a cyber security lawyer and a well mother of the Three who went to check the damage at her home and could not shake the cough.

“Honey, you don’t move air at all,” said Dr. Elsayegh, listening to the lungs through a stethoscope and quickly ordering a respiratory test and a nebulizer. A lung student asked for listening, and then looked at Dr. Elsayegh, looking at the confused.

“I can’t hear anything,” said the student. Dr. Elsayegh nodded.

After years of renting, Mrs. Michels and her husband received their first mortgage almost four years ago; It was a family milestone. Now, when he burns the house of Palisades, the family is divided into two rented apartments in Marina del Rey – one for boys, one for girls – and move around the novel school, novel insurance documents and novel prescriptions to manage Świszer.
