Saw a doctor
02-Nov-06
I saw a doctor today. We discussed whether or not I needed a chest X-ray, and since the only thing it might show is if I have pneumonia (I don’t), chose instead to give me some prescription cough syrup so I can sleep easier at night, and give it 2-3 days to heal. Said that this kind of inflammation is common when someone coughs a lot, and even if I’ve cracked a rib, he doubted it would show on an X-ray and the treatment would be about the same– rest, cough syrup, and advil.
