- Interní oddělení, Nemocnice Frýdlant
The patiens often suffer from cough and breathlesness, when they visit practitioners or specialists. The differential diagnose is very broad
and include the diseases of respiratory system, cardiovascular and nervous or haematopoetic system etc. The physician can deduce the
most propably causes of illness from the first contact with the patient, which he specifies by targeted questions and insures by physical
examination and other methods. These seemly properly formulated questions can take away the right diagnose and so miss the potential
life threatening event, as it was in this reported case.
