'''COVID-19''', also known as the novel coronavirus, was discovered in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has been a goddamn pain-in-the-ass ever since.
'''DefinitionSymptoms'''
----
According Symptoms can range from no to the yes. The most common include fever, nonproductive [[American Thoracic SocietyCough|cough]], '''dyspnea''' is a "subjective experience [[Dyspnea|shortness of breathing discomfort that is comprised of qualitatively distinct sensations that very in intensitybreath]]." WowIn very rare instances, that's it can present as a mouthful. Saying that definition out loud definitely can cause '''dyspnea'''. Have an inhaler readyscrotal abscess.
'''SymptomsSigns'''

WellDon't be fooled: though the documented [[Respiratory Rate|respiratory rate]] reads as 16, the main symptom for '''dyspnea''' it is most likely 17. Objective fever supports subjective fevers and hypoxemia supports a patient's complaint of "I''dyspnea''', sometimes shortness of breath, maybe even m feeling a little winded toohypoxemic. " Onset can be sudden or gradual, range from mild to severe, intermittent or nocturnal, and can be caused by anything from bad lungs (COPD exacerbation) to [[July InternChest X-Ray|bad internsChest X-ray]] ("You gave the patient is an important diagnostic tool.

'''SignsDifferential Diagnosis'''

Oxygen saturation is the most helpful of the [[Vital Signs|vital signs]]; [[Respiratory Rate|respiratory rate]], not so much, since it'll be documented as 16 breaths/min anyway. [[Physical Exam|Physical exam]] has been replaced by [[Radiology's Circle of Tests|radiology]], but should you do a [[Physical Exam|physical exam]], it is helpful to see how many lungs the patient has. [[Stethoscope|Stethoscopes]] are relics of the past, but should you find one, you can try to listen to some lung sounds. If you do so, we recommend absolutely crushing the lung exam.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2017/08/crushes-lung-exam-morning/ Doctor Absolutely Crushes the Lung Exam This Morning (Gomerblog)]</ref> (''For a helpful guide on the lung exam, see [http://gomerblog.com/2016/02/physical-exam-tips-the-lungs/ Gomerblog's Physical Exam Tips: The Lung].'')
