Hello,
I am writing an article for medscape on the best ways hospitalists can handle disruptive patients. Is this a big problem? What seems to set patients off? How can hospitalists anticipate problems? How can they defuse a situation before it gets out of hand? (calling in social workers, the family, use medcation, etc)? When should security be called?
I am looking for a hospitalist to weigh in.
Thanks you in advance for your pitches!

Seeking U.S.-based experts in pulmonology to comment on innovations in COPD and asthma care
I am working on a Medscape article about new approaches to managing COPD and asthma that go beyond standard inhaler therapy. I am seeking U.S.-based pulmonologists, researchers, or physicians with experience in pulmonary medicine to share insights on emerging strategies in clinical practice and research.
Questions:
What innovations in COPD and asthma care are you seeing beyond pharmacotherapy (e.g., breathing techniques, pulmonary rehab, personalized approaches)?
Are you using or researching personalized oxygen protocols? If so, how do they compare with standard oxygen therapy?
What role do biologic or precision-medicine therapies play in COPD and asthma management today?
What barriers exist in implementing these newer approaches (cost, access, adherence)?
How can primary care providers best incorporate or refer for these innovations?
Looking ahead, what developments are most promising for improving COPD and asthma outcomes over the next 5 years?
