Hystiosytosis X and Collapsed lungs? My brother has had both lungs collapse twice and I was wondering what normally is done in this circumstance. He is 24 and is in the hospital right now (he has been there for over 30 days dealing with a completely incompitant doctor who has no idea what he is dealing judging by the fact they are transferring him to Oakland, CA hosptial today and the head of the hospital cam in and apologized for Doctor's incompitance) and has had 2 proceedures. The first they cut open his lung to attach it to the bone and the second was because the lung wasn't healing they used a sort of adhesive mixed with saleane to make the lung adhere to the bone. Both times the doctor never came back that day to check on him and after the second proceedure his other lung collapsed. So I have two questions ... what can be done to heal him and can the doctor be sued for malpractice or just incompitance?

Summarized question: What is the treatment if both the lungs have collapsed twice?
