A member asked:
What's to be expected? might they let people with something like cystic fibrosis be a police officer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on lung func: Because the job requirements for a police officer may require good lung function, it depends on the severity of CF & the concerned individual's lung function. There is a wide spectrum of severity of lung disease in patients with cf, so talk to your CF doctor about your individual profile, lung function & how it compares to the expected lung function requirements for a police officer.
