The treatment plan for Pulmonology, its alternative options, the pros and cons associated with each option and the treatment cost is thoroughly discussed with the patient to seek their approval.

Once the patient gives his or her consent, the Pulmonology surgeon addresses his team members and shares the details of the case with them.
