The cough is worse whenever she spends the night out on duty where she is exposed to the smoke of the nearby wild fires. •She finally decides to visit her family physician who, after making appropriate patient-centered inquiries as to how her astrophotography hobby is going, finds that she has been smoking about one pack per day for the past 20 years. •The cough has been present for almost a year. She has had no fever or chills. She does admit to more shortness of breath when she exercises over the past six months. •Her only other past medical history includes hypertension for which she is using lisinopril, metoprolol, and hydrochlorothiazide.
