I am in my 70s. I was diagnosed with MS and mild asthma around 30 years ago and osteoarthritis. My MS is secondary progressive. Over the years my asthma became worse and worse, and I had to be prescribed home oxygen about 10 years ago when I was also diagnosed with bronchiectasis.
The British Thoracic Society Guidelines (updated in 2014) state that all patients with brittle asthma should remain under the care of a Consultant in Respiratory Medicine indefinitely, yet it November 2014, a new Consultant I'd never seen before discharged me.
"Unhappy with hospital doctor."
