About this listen

This episode opens with a seemingly routine flu call that unravels into a life-threatening respiratory crisis. Through the story of a COPD patient in distress, it explores how influenza can trigger cascading airway inflammation, gas-exchange failure, and sepsis. The script challenges medics to rethink “just the flu” as a high-stakes emergency demanding sharp assessment and timely intervention.
