I think i might have lung cancer! can i just walk into the hospital ? |
can you just go to the hospital and ask for an x ray of the lungs or do you have to go to like a walk in clinic first? i dont got a fmaily doctor by the way Hospital emergency rooms are for people in danger of dying, today. So the hospital is not the place to start, UNLESS you are having trouble breathing, or serious pain in your chest. If that is the case, get someone else to drive, and go straight to the emergency room. There are doctors that specialize in the lungs, I think they are called pulmonoligists. See one. If you are a smoker, stop, fast. I lost several family members to lung cancer and emphysema. It wasn't pretty. try a clinic first & they might take an Xray. Cancer would show up there. wrong category much? i doubt your lungs are pretty. |
