From the article
The man had experienced a dry cough and breathlessness for seven years before he suddenly got worse and was admitted to hospital. There he was diagnosed with hypersensitivity pneumonitis – a chronic inflammation of the lung, normally caused by regular inhalation of foreign bodies from the environment.
Any bets on how long his GP knew abut the symptoms and did nothing??
