Pulmonologists are doctors who focus on diseases and disorders that affect the lungs and respiratory tract. Pulmonologists specialize in diagnosing and treating pulmonary diseases such as bronchitis, lung cancer, and infant respiratory distress syndrome. Pulmonologists decide which treatment method would be best for particular diseases, such as surgery or medicinal, and work closely with other doctors in a hospital or clinic environment. Many pulmonary diseases are considered life threatening and therefore pulmonologists are closely related to intensive care doctors.
