A member asked:
Can you tell if your lung is collapsed from a stethasope?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: If one lung is collapsed, there will be decreased breath sounds on that side when listening with a stethascope in comparison to the other side of the chest. A skilled listener could pick this up.
