I'm a bit worried after my spirometry test for a job preemployment check. The doctor mentioned something about a mild restriction. Does this mean I might be considered unfit for the job? I've attached my report to get some clarity on this. Can you help me understand what it all means?

I'm really concerned about my uncle - he's in the hospital and I was told his lungs are finished. Is that something that can actually happen or am I missing something? He's unable to talk or do much of anything. He also has TB and HIV, so I'm wondering how that affects things. Can you help me understand what's going on with him?
