My hubby by just was diagnosed with pneumonia as well. Meds worked, we finished them and the cough is back. X-ray showed nothing in lungs, but we are having a CAT scan soon to confirm.
Getting a large dose radiation blast this week for our 5th recurrance in 2 yrs. ER drs are not dumb, but they also aren't always correct or have a definitive diagnosis based on tests. Please wait for the radiologist and your specialists to view, review, discuss and diagnose.
As caregivers we are like sponges and every word matters, but unfortunately as ER Drs we sometimes say things forgetting this literal absorption. It has been interesting being on both ends and seeing this.
You guys are surviours don't forget that. Please keep us informed.
