Who mentioned the condition, cause it's not common. I have no personal experience, but it seems to have occurred with some cases in the lungs with large bore needle biopsies, not fine needle, to what extent you describe, I don't know. Your father should be seen at the CCC. Don't wait for rehab. Call an ambulate or make other arrangements to be seen by a more specialized doctor, if stabilized enough for transportation. Most think your confined to the nursing home, and just under their care. You can go see any doctor, and go back later in the day. It could be another type bodily response too, but I don't know.

Good luck.
