This is a real situation. Image not to be used in a defamatory context. Hospital consultant making notes. This doctor is a consultant in a hospital's cystic fibrosis clinic. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease which causes excessive production of thick mucus in the airways of the lungs. The mucus clogs the airways, causing them to expand. Affected people are highly susceptible to chest infections. Although these are treatable with antibiotics, life expectancy is significantly reduced.
