So problem with the lungshaving treatment is that even after the
operation-- the patient still has emphysema.
Another drawback is that medicare is no longer covering patients who
undergo lungshaving.
The procedure has become so popular around the country-- Medicare may
decide to study the treatment further.
Dr. Truwit is hoping that if a study occurs, U-V-A can be one of those
test sites.

Remember, the Bulls beat the Hornets by 34 just last Friday night at the

It looked like another blowout last night when Michael Jordan went airborne
in the first half with one of his patented baseline jams.
But the Hornets got a boost when former Bull Pete Myers hit the three at the
halftime buzzer from beyond half court to cut the lead 10 at intermission.
Dell Curry and Matt Geiger off all people would then come out smoking from
three point range in the second half.
But there's always Jordan. Who on this play turns the Hornets into bowling
pins with the flying slam.
Charlotte led by one and the Bulls had the ball with time running out.
But the shot won;t fall and the Hornets end the Bulls streak at home at 37
games this season with the 98-to-97 win.
