Vonda Robinson watches her husband struggle to breathe.
She says he contracted the incurable black lung disease after working in coal mines with little to no safety protocols. She’s been to pulmonologist appointments where doctors showed her what looked like “slivers of glass” inside his lungs.
“I mean all that is [doing], is it’s just going in there and cutting,” Robinson said. “His breathing is down to like 38% and they’re talking about – and he won’t even talk about this right now – a lung transplant.”
