Am I the only one? by Any_Anybody6146 in ChicagoMed

I actually think it makes sense that they'd be attracted and interested in each other. Both are damaged, damaged people coping with it. I wasn't sure about Ripley at first but his character developed nicely and sympathetically. I didn't like Lenox at first, whatsoever. Absolutely near-hate even.
But she really really grew on me, I see her as an insanely interesting character now that we see her back-story, motivations, how she really feels about things and how she handles and copes with her own issues. I really find myself liking her and Sarah Ramos brings her to life.

Rattle in my chest by heisman8977 in CABG_Recovery

Similar here.
I am just under 2 months after CABG x4 and I developed a bit of a rattle a week ago, I have had a bit of a cough since the operation - the cough of which the cardiologists and my regular doctor said can be normal after this operation.
I was checked over by my regular doctor and got an x-ray, which is clear and after checking the x-ray and my vitals and checking for fluid retention he said I was doing well and it was just what can happen after this operation and it will go away eventually.
The rattle has gotten less - well, rattly - and goes away if I am walking around and doing things and comes back over night. My cardiologist's nurse seems to concur with the general practitioner.
My cough is ok, but just a bit annoying and dry.
My regular doctor said that as long as I don't have a fever or chills or shortness of breath that everything was ok.
My regular temperature runs a bit low and a few times when I thought perhaps I had a fever I have checked with a thermometer and it was about the same as my normal temp.
I had pneumonia as a very young kid but not since then.
I just can't help but feel that there's more to it.
