Actually, I believe an xray is required for proper diagnosis of bronchitis. (well.. maybe not required..) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 16, 16:07 3
- Actually.. probably not more to rule out pneumonia then for the bronchitis. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 16, 16:09 2
  - blah.. remove the "not" and make that a "than" :) -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 16, 16:11 1

I got my first one in 92, so it's not new. -- nm - David Feb 16, 16:03
I've had one before - more to make sure it's not worse than bronchitis than to make sure it is. -- nm - Kim Pine Feb 16, 15:48
Glad they did it. Seems I'm a high functioning pnumoniac. Waiting for confirmation. -- nm - Mop on Evo Feb 16, 15:44
Must be. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 15:43 7
- did you get one as well? -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 15:44 6
  - Yeah. they wanted to see if it was pneumonia and since I'm asthmatic and having trouble; they were on top of it. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 15:46 5
    - oh... that makes sense. I guess it's about pneumonia. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 15:48 4
      - I told em up front, the last time I coughed up blood was when I had pneumonia - Will Hunting Feb 16, 15:48 3
        
        I had a situation where I found out two months later I had pneumonia. - Kim Pine Feb 16, 16:00
        
        Can I have it, then? I want the full experience. -- nm - Mop on Evo Feb 16, 15:51 1
        
        You don't. I had a lovely case of walking pneumonia when I was in high school. -- nm - the liioulu with less Feb 16, 16:13
