Adult Pulmonology, Adult Critical Care

801 N 29th Street, Billings, MT

Dr. David Pucci works as an adult critical care and adult pulmonology specialist in Billings, MT. He is a graduate of West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine.

"Dr. Pucci didn't listen to me and essentially blew me and the spirometry testing results off. He asked if I had a runny nose and I answered "yes". He launched into his diagnosis of allergic asthma rather than COPD without asking me about my allergies, how severe (not at all) they are. Just because I'm a never smoker, I don't think it's OK that I'm completely winded after walking up a flight of stairs or 500' on a flat surface. He heard I'm a skier but didn't ask how much I ski and if my performance has declined or become more difficult. Yes, I get out and exercise until it literally hurts my lungs because I want to stave off COPD progression. He didn't even ask. Totally didn't listen to a word I said. It's like he wishes it was a bygone time where there were no well informed, engaged, patients who actually do participate in their healthcare decision and don't just blindly accept whatever pronouncement is made by the doctor.

What is Critical Care?

Critical care, or intensive care medicine, is the delivery of medical care to patients whose illness or injury is so seriously life threatening that they would likely die without intervention. It usually takes place in ICUs or trauma centers. It is referred to as critical care in North America, while it is called intensive care or intensive therapy in the rest of the world. Specialists in this field are sometimes referred to as intensivists.

Critical care may encompass a broad variety of medical specialties in the efforts to save a patient's life. Critical care specialists must have a good knowledge of anesthesiology, surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and other specialties. Besides their medical knowledge, intensivists must know a great deal about end-of-life issues, including ethics, advanced directives, and family counseling and bereavement.

Critical care is a relatively modern specialty, which developed along with ICUs beginning in the 1950's. It looks different from regular medicine, and it can be recognized by the presence of more nurses, more monitoring, more invasive monitors and procedures, and the presence of life-sustaining therapies such as mechanical ventilators and vasopressors.

Specialists in critical care frequently have to make urgent and complex decisions. They use their knowledge and skill to provide intensive care to the most fragile patients and do their best to save lives.
