How similar. We had such a character presented to our department Monday
night (28-09-98). He refused intercostal drain but accpeted aspiration of
the pneumothorax. This was performed It did not work as only about 25% had
resolved. When told that he still needed a drain he told my SHO to F's off
and left.
This chap arrived yesturday morning very distressed and apologetic. I saw
him and after reassuring him introduced a 26F drain. Happy customer
admitted after check Xary show full resolution of the pneumothorax.
