All are true except for COPD, however,a development of clubbing in COPD should warrant a through search for a brochogenic carcinoma which may have developed with the underlying the COPD.I would fear for clubbing in COPD the most.....Peace!

Hi,

Healthline just launched a campaign for called "You Are Not Your COPD" where COPD patients share their story or advice about living with the disease. You can see the homepage for the campaign here: http://www.healthline.com/health/copd/inspirational-stories

We have partnered with the COPD Foundation to promote the campaign and have pledged that for every submitted story, Healthline will donate $10 to the COPD Foundation.

I am writing to ask if you can help spread the word about this campaign by including it as a resource on your page: http://internalmedicinemrcp.blogspot.com/2008/06/mcq-for-medical-students.html

The more stories we receive the more Healthline will donate to COPD research, support, and treatment programs. Would you please consider including this on your site or sharing with your followers?

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you,
Maggie Danhakl • Assistant Marketing Manager
