Felt abit of discomfort

In the chest this 2 days. Finally decided to pay the Medical Officer a visit. Went there early in the morning, got sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) before 1100hrs.

The 2 Medical Officers aint really too optimist about the sounds they heard in my left lung.

Took an CXR, a.k.a x-ray, at TTSH. While the radiographer is processing the shots. The doctor chatted with me and tell me that he thinks the lung sounds wierd too. Chances as they got to put a tube in, not just simple needle aspiration.

Went for my lunch and the CXR is ready to be viewed. The doctor looked at me and shake his head, I look at the CXR, paying attention to the space pocket on top of the left lung. The pocket of air has expanded back to its untreated size. It occupies around the height of 2 ribs. No procedures were done today discussed with the doctor. He pushed forward my appointment with specialist to next Thursday. Giving MC til next Friday at the same time.

First time in my life visiting a hospital so many times in one month.
