sputum culture result

[Tahoma 2,298]

I read somewhere that his family is migrating to the US then all of them passed the medical except for his dad so they had to wait for his culture. Then it also happened to another family, this time a son. Then to a fiancee with K1/K2 applications, the son passed it but the mom did not. And now to the OP. Some people think it's a delaying tactic of SLEC.

I must be losing my mind LOL oh well.

Don't confuse correlation with causation.

Do you believe St. Lukes manipulates the chest x-rays so that they show irregularities?

You could always take your St. Lukes x-ray to your pulmonologist and find out.

I just ran across several forums that discuss this never ending Sputum issue such as:

I am not trying to say that SLEC manipulates the xray results because it is improbable to do so. I am just expressing a mere curiosity regarding this topic.

Is there a case that after a full 8weeks and you call to your given schedule result is POSITIVE?.

Usually you will find out you are Positive before that 8 week culture ends. I haven't seen anybody here on VJ who received a late notice about their results.
