A member asked:
Do i need to see a chest physician for the lump in the rib cage of my friend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Go see an internist or family practitioner. They can make the initial work up and probably even the diagnosis as to what it is and refer your friend to the proper specialist, which would be unlikely a chest physician.
