Sorry, I just had to :)
I love X-rays, they're like revealed secrets, and the bones that lie beneath our skins are so graceful. No matter how ungainly you are in life, your bones have grace.
Anyway the status is this so far:
* Chest X-ray - allegedly abnormal according to the radiologist, but looks fine to three other doctors (and me, but I'm comparing it to a dog, so maybe my opinion doesn't count)
* Liver function test - abnormal
* Blood test - abnormal
The upshot? They still don't know what's wrong with me. I may have an ultrasound scheduled this afternoon, and another blood test tomorrow. My $10 a tab antibiotics aren't kicking ass like they should, and they're some of the most expensive antibiotics out there, so I think (although no one's saying so) that they're stumped.
I have yet another message from the office, asking me when I am coming back. I'm ignoring it for the moment. I have other things to worry about.

Your office called you and asked when you were coming back????
Geez. People I know get off work for yonks, for a lot less than what you've got.
Tell them to eat your X-ray as they ponder the intrinsic value of life as a litigator.
Geez.
I have one of those chest X-rays, courtesy of Australian Immigration. (Is she gonna bring tuberculosis to Australia, this filthy migrant?). I've been flapping it around Tony, going "I TOLD you I was a flat-chested..."- » November 08, 2005 11:08 AM

Let me elaborate: my office has called me three times to find out when I am coming back, each time with slightly increasing hysteria. (not The Boss though, who has merrily told me not to worry about anything and to just concentrate on getting well. I love The Boss)
Litgators have no intrinsic value.The system just eats you up and when you're all used up, they spit you out and you go in-house. Or to the civil service. (oooh. ouch.)
And yes, I admit that the 'flat-chested' thing crossed my mind too when I saw my X-ray. I think I had a sort of half-hearted hope that my boobies would make some sort of impression in the X-ray, but nooooooooo - not unless I coated my nipples with lead first.- » November 08, 2005 3:40 PM

Haha, the poor ang moh gets it for something he's no even guilty of! Poor chap.
And hell if you want to see that badly, next time I go to KL I'll strip for you lah!- » November 14, 2005 2:48 PM

*Raj hangs her head in shame for being so obsessive, but it's a week from finals*:
Babe, you've put the xray the wrong way around (unless of course you haven't told me that you have dextrocardia). Though I think it's hilarious that you've posted your CXR.
In my humble and completely unworthy opinion, it looks normal to me too. But then again, your neighbour's house obscures the most important bit. :)
Glad you're out of the woods after your bout of PUO (pyrexia of unknown origin).
Sorry about the jargon.... must be studying too hard. But I know you love it when i talk dirty... I mean... medical. *grin*- » November 15, 2005 9:08 AM

PS: most peoples' boobs don't make an appearance on xray (unless they're huge or hang down to their knees). so don't take it personally. :)

Raj, babe, you're totally forgiven for the med geek stuff (and you know I love it anyway)
Yeah, I know I've got the CXR the wrong way round, but this was the clearest shot I could get (no lightbox, I was slightly upset by that)
And wouldn't it be cool if I did have dextrocardia? I'd be a bit of a medical marvel, like a two-headed snake.
Good luck for the finals, babe!- » November 15, 2005 9:43 AM
