Here's the second half of the presentation by Dr. Gerard Silvestri, expert pulmonologist and critical care specialist at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, on pulmonary complications from lung cancer treatment.

A Brief Tornado. I love the analogy Dr. Antonoff gave us to describe her presentation. I felt it earlier too and am looking forward to going back for deeper dive.
