My 20-year-old nephew has had a spontaneous pneumothorax for the second time and needs surgery.

I am now a 50-year-old working man.

My wife is in her mid-40s, and she is our youngest daughter.

My older sister has two brothers, and her husband's nephew has had two pneumothoraxes in the past six months.

Six months ago, the treatment ended with the insertion of a catheter during hospitalization.

This time, they are considering transferring to a general hospital and performing surgery to remove the collapsed lung.

I'm still a college student and haven't been to the military yet, so I'm worried.
