Board 8 > Commodore gets tuberculosis (no really)

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'll save y'all the medical jargon and try to explain this as succinctly as I can.

One of our patients has been really sick in my unit for 2 weeks now. We knew he had heart problems but no-one could figure out why he wasn't recovering. Well, today we found out. He has tuberculosis. I've spent over 10 hours in his room and I'm considered the most compromised person in our unit (along with his nurse).

The hospital isn't going to start us on medication until they get a 2nd test verifying that he has tuberculosis, but the nurses told me its happened before and that's what he has.

So they're pretty sure I have TB. I've brought it home to my heart defective mother and father. We will likely all be put on intense medication regimens.


Great to work in the public service industry, huh?

damn, what an unlucky break. If caught early enough it can be completely cured in like 6 months. Otherwise it can take as long as 10 years to fully recover :(

Congrats to Guru champ SuperNiceDog! All hail our Guru overlord.

If you're gonna get TB, I guess it's best to get it in a hospital!

A quick wiki check tells me most infections are asymptomatic, but I guess you're the doc!

He's a substitute teacher. But he also works as a... nursing assistant? He's going to be a doctor.

Thanks y'all. I don't really think its best to tell my friends and s***, because I know enough that I'd never endanger them if I do get diagnosed. If I don't have it or can just take meds to get rid of it, there's no reason to become the "TB guy".

Wow, I thought that this kind of thing would be pretty common in the hospital industry... they don't have any sort of protections against it?

Good insurance.

If they know that it's TB, or suspect it is TB, you wear a lot of protective gear. Apparently they didn't know/suspect it early enough.

That's awful to hear. The thought of catching a contagious illness like that is terrifying to me.

Are the hospital going to pay to help you/your family?

That does suck, but to be fair I also have dormant TB in me and nothing comes from it since they caught & treated it. If they get you/your family tested & on the meds, you'll be fine

Amazing.


So I gave in and told my friends, this is a pretty s***ty thing to deal with and I didn't feel like coming up with excuses for possibly 9 months explaining why I couldn't hang out.

Their response? "Are you on the meds yet?" "No."

"THEN WE'RE GOING OUT TONIGHT IN YOUR HONOR GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!"

Awesome. I'm glad they weren't all "Eww you might have TB stay away"
