Oh No (The doctor game me the prescription for anitdepressants and suggested I get a lung exray only because I was a smoker): I immediately got my pills. Put the paper away for the x-ray. About 2 months went by when I saw the paper for the x-ray and said what the XXX, it is free and so I went and had the lung x-ray. She called me and said she needed to see me. I went in and she said I had Lung cancer and sent me to another Dr.
