Pneumonia And Winter Should Medics Be Able To Spot The Difference Between Flu And Pneumonia?

Well, I had the flu and I was suffering from acute bronchitis are treated with the same drugs, such as pneumonia, and I suppose if the patient is not specific enough about your symptoms can be confused or misdiagnosed.
To say: "We have engaged in" is not no good excuse.
I had both. I thought I had the flu, when in reality she had pneumonia! After about 5 days, cough and fever had not taken better ----- even after such therapy is DayQuil flu and the nature of things. He had high fever (over 5 days, most ---- 103 F) when I went to the doctor. He said it sounds like the flu. However, he gave me a chest x-ray to be sure. Radiography of the thorax showing pneumonia.
It is a kind of anxiety to think that people from this area (especially in the days and more).
Not enough doctors, THATS HORRIBLE. Someone must be there to see, at least make the best out ---- and in a position, a radiograph. Is not part of being a doctor? Should not at least "new" children to be the work of the party?
INot sure if you can diagnose a lot on the phone ---- especially things with similar symptoms.
