The Doctor Visit

After several months of procrastination I finally let my bride make an appointment for me with a PULMONOLOGIST. This is the specialty that deals with diseases of the lungs and the respiratory system. Seems I had been having increased shortness of breath.
Things are going pretty normal in the examination and then he calls for a chest x-ray. I hate x-rays......
Oops, there is a small spot (1 inch or so), but it's near an artery so it probably isn't much, a shadow, perhaps. We need to get a CT scan just to be sure. (I love how Doctor's say "we" and the fact that they are always "practicing" medicine).
