I’m not a doctor nor even a med student and I’ve learned to read chest X-rays. I e taken a keen interest after I was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Hystiocytosis. It sucked that they were my own X-rays but I’m still fascinated. Keep learning everybody!

Abolutely fantastic video. I love the part about going through the outline of the ribs to see if there is an additional line that should not be there.

[@daprincekissedme]

I swear my face is almost touching the screen trying to see the pleural line-

[@christianjacobs3437]

Great video! Gives me a good strategy on how to examine x-rays. Maybe you mentioned it as part of the examination strategy and it skipped my attention, but what helped me identify the pneumothorax in each of your cases was looking at the (slight) tracheal deviation which gives away which side the pneu is and where to look.

[@Sahad_MH]

As a layman with a pleural drain, having been through a thoracentesis and a couple drains I watched this with a need to understand what's going on. Don't quite have the eye for reading an x-ray but I'm willing to learn! Thanks for the detail.

[@Prof.SchulzeSternberg]

[@why-hf6gc]

Super paranoid about my own x ray, hoping that I don’t have a collapsed lung/s

[@AMS9928]

Get done two x rays 1 Inspiration film and 2 expiration film.

[@paulhetherington3854]

X-rays see, only metal-- it's only metal.

[@elias-rn6mx]

Hi I had a pneumothorax 6 months ago my question would be can I smoke a cigarette now?

[@joleneong8173]

yes

[@salama4526]

no

[@drtanishabaladia]

No u shd nt as there are always chances of recurrent pneumothorax and smoking is a risk factor.
