AB Management  of  a  patient  with  chronic  lung  disease  does  not  end  with  its  treatment.  Those  with  chronic  pulmonary  disorders  need  additional  assistance  and  guidance  on  issues  related  to  respiratory  impairment,  including  causation  or  attribution;  apportionment;  eligibility  for,  and  access  to,  various  compensation  systems;  workplace  modifications  or  removal  from  the  workplace;  and  vocational  and  other  forms  of  rehabilitation.  Unfortunately,  most  physicians  avoid  providing  these  services,  often  with  disastrous  socioeconomic  and  medical  consequences  for  the  patient.
