Program – David M. Kulick, M.D., Ph.D.
Rome Rotary welcomed Dr. David Kulick who joined Rome Memorial Hospital
in September of 2009 and who is a Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon. Dr. Kulick talked about the different
types of lung cancer, how it can travel and the importance of early
detection. Symptoms can include
cough, chest pain, hoarseness, weight loss, shortness of breath and
wheezing. He also went into the
different methods used to treat it such as surgery or non-operative measures
such as chemotherapy or radiation.
He urged Rotarians to leave with this take home message: Stop Smoking, Stop Smoking, Stop
Smoking! Thank you Dr. Kulick for your time and a great program!
