The latest efforts to spread COPD awareness have been successful. Manufacturers of portable oxygen concentrators have sponsored the making of the documentary: COPD: Highly Illogical – Remembering Leonard Nimoy.
The documentary focuses on the personal story of the trials, tribulations, and ultimately courage that was the life of Leonard Nimoy, the man who played the original Spock in Star Trek. What many might not be well-known is that Leonard Nimoy suffered from COPD and it was one of the deciding factors in his death in February, 2015.
Nimoy attempted to spread COPD awareness through his own story in which he outlined that he was not diagnosed until 2013, after suffering with the disease for almost 10 years. Though he then began receiving treatment for the disease and found help through the use of portable oxygen concentrators, his life until that point had been a struggle of not knowing what was affecting his health so drastically.
Julie Nimoy, Leonard’s daughter, had this to say about her father’s illness, “His character’s iconic catchphrase, ‘Live long and prosper,’ quickly echoed through generations and became a battle cry for fans. I look forward to continuing my dad’s mission of raising awareness and helping COPD patients like him to live longer and prosper in their own lives, as my dad did in his.”
The fact is that access to portable oxygen concentrators sooner and a better diagnosis would have meant that Mr. Nimoy would have not had to suffer for so many years.
