### Patient: Doctor, I have been experiencing a lot of chest pain and difficulty breathing. I think I may have an abscess of the lung.
### Doctor: Okay, to confirm the diagnosis and determine the extent of the abscess, we will need to perform a radiographic imaging procedure such as a CT scan or X-ray. We may also need to start intravenous fluid replacement and possibly perform other therapeutic nervous system procedures. Depending on the severity of the abscess, we may also need to monitor your heart with a cardiac monitor and prescribe physical therapy exercises to aid in your recovery.
