Tweetable Quotes “One in five patients who are listed for a lung transplant will die on the waiting list. So, there’s a real shortage not only in lung, but in the other organs as well.” (04:37) (Dr. David)
“A smoking related lung disease, emphysema is a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Some people may have heard of COPD. That’s essentially the same thing.” (07:43) (Dr. David)
“There’s a vast array of chemicals in a vape and what goes into the lung. But even more than that, it’s thermal energy. So, in other words, it produces very high heat in the lung, and the lung is quite sensitive to very high temperatures. The damage can not only come from the chemicals that are contained in the vape oil, but also from the heat that’s generated. It’s much hotter than cigarette smoke.” (10:52) (Dr. David)
“As marijuana increasingly becomes more mainstream in our society, we’re seeing more and more research that it’s not quite the benign drug that we thought it was maybe early on, mainly because there wasn’t much research on it when it was illegal.” (18:19) (Dr. David)
“It was very difficult for me to separate how much I cared from accepting an outcome that was not good. And, I don’t think I ever really learned how to do that well over the course of my career.” (25:25) (Dr. David)
“What I try to do now is coach the teams through everything and try to figure out a way to get on the same page. That’s probably the number one value that I can bring to programs now.” (31:46) (Dr. David)
