Introducing “Added Insights from Dr. Nair”
We have added a new feature to the news articles shared by the National Emphysema Foundation: Added Insights from Dr. Nair. These commentaries by NEF’s President of Clinical Affairs, Laurence Nair, MD, will enhance the value of the articles we present each month by providing extra insights from the clinician’s perspective. Whether he is expanding on the article’s key points, highlighting particularly important aspects, or challenging the reader to take the news with a grain of salt, Added Insights will provide another layer of information and education on living with COPD.
Dr. Nair is a three-time board-certified pulmonary critical physician and an assistant professor of medicine at Frank Netter School of Medicine in North Haven, Conn. He has an active pulmonary practice and rounds in the Intensive Care Unit at Medstate Medical Center in Meriden, Conn.
Over the course of his 25 years in practice, Dr. Nair has worked regularly with COPD patients in all phases of the disease process – accumulating a depth of experience and level of expertise that make his contributions to NEF’s monthly news roundup particularly meaningful.
