Don't wait for them to call you. The radiologist usually processes those out within the day. Last Edited by CeeLite on 04/17/2015 01:00 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 67702974 Germany 04/17/2015 02:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went to the docs with a cold and complaining that I couldn't breathe right. Doc gave me a once over and said it was congestion due to the cold and gave me antibiotics. I went back the next day again saying something isn't right. Doc checked me over and told me the same thing again, but this time SHE (doc) sent me for an X-ray, just to be on the safe side, she said. Dude X-Ray'd me, took 1 look at the X-Ray and told me that I have to go straight to the hospital because I had a collapsed lung. 2 weeks of intense pain in hospital. Fucking doctors man! |

Of course he died from it. Any leg swelling with an ulcer followed by coughing and having trouble breathing means seek immediate medical attention. Also, this can happen at any age. My daughter had a blood clot in her leg when she was 18. |

User ID: 68722752 United States 04/22/2015 03:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you think you may have pneumonia, your clinician will need to see you. The clinician will listen to your heart, lungs, and chest through a stethoscope. The clinician will also review your vital signs, which include temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. The information gathered during your physical examination may help your clinician determine if your pneumonia is mild or serious. Chest x-rays may be necessary, but are not always required to confirm a diagnosis of pneumonia. Many people with mild pneumonia can be effectively treated without having a chest x-ray taken. However, in people with moderate to severe pneumonia, a chest x-ray is often taken to determine the extent of the illness and any need for additional testing. X-rays are especially useful in people with weak immune systems since they can help assess whether it is pneumonia or some other illness that is responsible for symptoms. Chest x-rays can also be used to show complications of disease, such as a build-up of pus in the lungs (empyemas) or other complications.
