If it ain't broke...

OK, so this lady came into the department with a cough and shortness of breath. According to her, she just needed antibiotics and a sleeping pill. According to me, she was wheezing. She had no history of asthma, so I decided to give her some nebulizer treatments and get a chest x-ray. When the nurse went to get her for an x-ray, the patient told the nurse that she didn't need one, because she knew her chest wasn't broken. Honest and true.
