He goes to get Xray that same day before starting Antibiotics. . . Xray comes back with a normal read by radiology. . . I was shocked because I was almost positive I heard the patients lungs growling in the left lower quadrant it was so bad.

Turns out the Xray tech (Who is new) sent two AP (Front) views without a side view to the radiologist. Upon a second reading, there was definitely a Lower lobe pneumonia.

I bring this up to ask, how often does stuff like this happen? I have never noticed it before and assume it is extremely rare. But someone in the know if you could help me out that would be great.

Edit: Front view Xray could miss left lower lobe pneumonia because the heart and diaphragm sits in front of a large portion of the left lobe. I should have added this earlier and apologize.
