Transcripts
DR. CORNEL:
This was a chest x-ray actually
just before she was put on the ventilator. I
use this one because it's a little clearer.
MS. GIRAND:
The slides lights.
DR. CORNEL:
But this is a
plain chest x-ray. These are the ribs, the
spine down the middle. This blobby white thing
in the middle is the heart. And in this
picture it is huge. I will show you what it
should look like on another film a bit later.
All of this is water around the lung. And
really the only effective part of the lung is
this little bit up here. So it's no wonder the
poor child was a little short of breath.
