Suggest treatment for pneumonia
Patient: I moved from Ga to Ct and have Pulmanary Fibrosis, I just had a cat scan for a pain in my groin, I guess they did a whole scan , they found a nodule on my left lung ,, I was in the hospital Jan, Feb, March, with pneumonia , I was seeing a dr at middlex, when he was told about the nodule, the office said he was going on vacation, they couldn t see me !! Didn t recommend I see another Dr, I will not go back !! I live in Westbrook, ct need something close ? Doctor: Thanks for your question on HCM. In my opinion you should definitely get done CT THORAX with contrast. As pulmonary nodule in pulmonary Fibrosis patient can be due to malignancy. So characteristics of nodule on CT is important. Characteristics like1. Margins (irregular or not)2. Calcification present or not.3. Associated with lymphadenopathy or not.Etc are needed  to rule out cancer.So get done CT THORAX to confirm the cause of nodule
