My take on my chest x-ray today...
As you know, I have been fighting bronchitis now for several weeks. Over the Christmas Holiday I had a coughing attack that pulled something in my lower abdomin. Now when I cough, it is like being stabbed in the side. So I have been trying not to talk too much (I know I know), it aggrivates my coughing... So this morning when I got to work, I went upstairs in my office building and made an appointment with my doctor... I told him, the coughing was one thing, but this pain when I cough is too much... so I now have an inhaler and a $40 bottle of prescribed cough medicine (yes i will be feeling good later and should sleep well when I take it).... Also, he had me go to the MRI office downstairs next to my office for a chest x-ray since the coughing has been going on for soo long... as usual, they gave me a CD with pics on it... and in my honest opinion... I think I do have a rib cage... that is all I see... they will examine it and let me know something tomorrow or Wednesday... "Mr Stern, you have bronchitis" DUH!... but a coughing attack at work led me to take the day off after the appointment... when your job entails talking and talking makes you cough and coughing makes you want to throw yourself off the Empire State Building, you go home... soak in the tub... place a heating pad on your side and say as little as possible... Oh, by the way... any docs out there who may be able to read the x-ray above.. click on it, it gets larger... and our friend Chris has a thing for single gay docs... hmmmm???? (and it says 'erect' on the x-ray...hehehe)
I hate to tell you this but outside of what you already know, you have no other issues.
I also couldn't make the image bigger and it seems slightly squashed (that or you've got a very broad chest). But you have nothing too serious to worry about.
Hope ya feel better.

Chest erect....hehehehe. Looks good that you do not have pneumonia.... rest rest rest. The body needs major amount of sleep. And stress screws up any physical ailment. Keep at it.

Umm... By the way...
"Erect" on your xray means you were standing up, so don't get too sexcited...
Hope you feel better soon!

Hope you're feeling better soon!
When I saw "ERECT" on your xray I snickered, then felt like Beavus and/or Butthead for doing so.

I'm not liking the look of that white area in the lower section of your left lung. What's that about?
If it continues, you might insist on being referred to a pulmonologist.

Hey Blobby,
Please do not worry about those white spots.
