So many times, "rare" lung diseases never get diagnosed, despite radiologist's correct diagnosis on one's chest X-Rays. Too many doctors with apparent ego problems prevent taking the radiologist seriously. Not all lung diseases act like the most common diseases, including the quick-acting deadly ones.

Could it be the people had a reason to be concerned about their lungs, thus the reason for attending, and whatever they feared developed into a full-blown problem?
