at the present time

“At the present time there is no evidence of pulmonary embolus.


I have no idea how saying “At the present time” is supposed to benefit the clinician more than just “No evidence of pulmonary embolus.”

The word “evidence” is overused and most often incorrectly, but I’d let it go in this instance. Although we usually see emboli, it’s conceivable we could infer their presence based on classic evidence such as pulmonary infarct, oligemia or right heart strain.
I say “No embolic lung disase” but I think “No evidence of pulmonary embolus” is okay.
