Create a handbook for chest x-ray images along with explanation with all the possible cases seen in a pulmonary department.I am an intern doctor in hospital and I need this handbook made by you of chest x-ray images and all possible lung pathologies visible in chest x-ray along with trauma to lungs photos along with explanation.Make a pdf colorful.
mkdir -p /home/daytona/workspace/cxr-handbook && ls /home/daytona/workspace/
Retry please
Try again
mkdir -p /home/daytona/workspace/cxr-handbook && python3 -c "import reportlab; print('reportlab ok')" && python3 -c "import requests; print('requests ok')"
I am really dissatisfaction and disappointed as you haven't created pdf for me
I am sad , I haven't received my pdf so far
Ok I'll go now as you are unable to perform the task

| 13 — Quick Reference | 15 classic signs, mnemonics (CAVITY, BATS, CHEST, SPLAT), white hemithorax differential, GGO differential |
I am not happy with the results,I request you to create a handbook with only photos of all CXR of lungs only, very minimal text if required.And Also show circled or arrow mark on photos of all CXR where pathogenesis are shown.Please create this type pdf,I am waiting.
