In the latest episode of Curbside Consult, Professor Sean Gaine and Dr Emer Kelly speak to Dr Marlies Wijsenbeek, of Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, Netherlands. Dr Wijsenbeek gives her expert opinion on interstitial lung disease, including the case of an 82-year-old non-smoking female patient with interstitial changes on her chest x-ray and mild restriction in her spirometry.
Ask the Expert - formally Curbside Consult - is a video discussion series. In each episode, two experts have an informal discussion or a 'curbside consultation' - an informal process, well-accepted in medical practice, where physicians seek advice from colleagues to assist in the management of a particular issue for a particular patient.
