Next time go to Yahoo Answers and post your Medical Questions there, I here they've got a hugely active completely legit crew of Medical Doctors that can diagnose issues over the internet based on a text post.

Still here... Think they have taken at least half my blood. Pneumonia In left lung. No CT scan, just chest x-ray. Waiting on a ton of blood work and cultures. Dilaudid via IV every few hours. That stuff works!

Dat pnemonia.

And say ECG intead of EKG. EKG is soooooo 1950's.

For 100% serious, say ECG instead. Electrocardiogram. I suppose the thinking was that "EE-KAY" was more distinct a sound than "EE-CEE" but ain't nobody got time for that shit no more!

Dude lets keep it academic (akademic?) and say EKG. Its from ?????? = kard?a = heart and better hope your doc has enough intellectual background to know that and is old school enough to use EKG.

See, that doesn't make any sense in this language though.

You're not supposed to call Fallopian tubes Fallopian anymore either or Eustachian tubes Eustachian. You're supposed to call them "stringy girl parts" and "childhood snot funnel" now.

Iannis, the reason why professionals don't write (and sometimes say) ECG is because it LOOKS similar to EEG. That's why they write EKG.

Sorry Thorne, I meant XR. It does sound like a pretty severe case of pneumonia. What's it look like? Some crazy infiltrate going on?


edit: Are you on clot precautions? Did they put you on heparin? What's your INR/aPTT?

I ended up in the ER a couple months ago from a similar case of pneumonia, that had caused severe pleurisy on my right side. Good stuff.
