Pulmonary Medicine Consultation Report - padiddy


Posted: Jan 17, 2010

The patient is referred with fever, chills and progressive shortness of breath with a history of IV drug abuse and alcoholism.  The patient is a poorly-nourished 44-year-old Hispanic male in "s/l seria desperator" distress and agitated.  Could the doctor mean severe respiratory distress?

respiratory distress is what I get out of that. nm - MTSella

I would think he was trying to say "severe respiratory distress" when looking at your s/l description.
