There was probably dust on the xray lens, that’s what it was.

Smoking!
My dad’s a doctor, and the smoking definitely clogs up the lungs. Stains them.
Gee, I wonder why he’s using his inhaler more often. Probably because he’s smoking and it’s ruining his lungs? Which could be causing his asthma!

Hope this person mends his/her ways and gets help needed. Best scenario, the lung spots are artifact on the xray film?

Some people don’t even have to try to sexy! He sounds like every woman’s dream.
Ok I know, get serious. This is a suicidal person who needs help now, not later but now! I don’t care if it was 8 wks ago he’s still suicidal. If you can’t get him to a doctor than take him to an AA meeting. He’ll be among good company there, with people that can understand and have been there before.
There is hope! Don’t let him kill himself while the solution is within his grasp.
God bless you for caring enough about him to reach out.

I’d check for TB and cystic fibrosis. You can have TB but never have the disease itself.

2 minute warning and the clocks ticking…
Once he does pass away (and he will, soon) don’t say unkind things about him in front of the children. Regardless of how big a pri ck he was, the children will only see an angry mother belittling their dead (dying) father.
I’m sorry for the guilty feelings you must be going through right now but you did nothing wrong and should sleep soundly at nights!
Love you, you freak!

I’m not really a doctor, I just play one with people in my bedroom.
I agree with Timinator.

I would say this one has "death wish" written all over it—
and NO ONE is to blame but the patient himself.
Ditto to Val and Tim.

Damn. I really hope this isn’t a sick joke he is playing on you…

(Suddenly getting inside Dr. Protectorate’s mind to see what his thoughts might be concerning the information you just gave me…
