I was 100 feet downwind from another family having an outdoor BBQ. Nobody was wearing masks, and one person started coughing. Am I at risk of catching Covid from him? I know it's supposed to be safer outdoors, but if I was able to smell their ribs cooking, wouldn't his respiratory droplets reach me too?

I have a small open sore or blister on my penis. I have never had an STD in my 45 years of life and have no other symptoms. Can you diagnose this by the picture? How long have you had the sore? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about it? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

I am having weird pain and spasms in the middle left side of my back for a few days now. I am also super nauseous. How long have you had the pain? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the pain? Anything else in your medical history you think the Doctor should know?

My daughter was involved in a car accident almost a year ago. She still gets very anxious when she goes in the car and I have to go below the speed limit on most streets. Does she need counseling/psychological help? It sounds to me like she has PTSD. (there are other behaviors that indicate so as well)

I have been diagnosed with a very mild case of emphysema, with no symptoms, based on a CT scan of my chest. I am a 62-year-old male, lifelong non-smoker with minimal exposure to secondhand smoke. I am concerned about radon exposure and would like advice on managing emphysema. Additionally, I have mild scarring on my lungs from a previous CT scan, and I want to know if this requires lifetime follow-up.
