When our lungs in such terrible shape that we are eligible for transplant list, it is such a struggle to do that 6 minute mile. How many people that don't have diseased lungs can achieve that? Since constant screening while on the transplant list is necessary, I feel this test causes more stress and strain. Please change your law and eliminate this one. Thank you.
