  No doctor in the United States would take this amount of time to figure out what was really wrong with that knee..we would get sent home and told to take pain meds. Thank you for doing your job so thoroughly.

  My great grandmother immigrated to US from Germany by early 1900’s. &nbsp;She worked as a nurse in NYC caring for TB patients isolated in a quarantined center. &nbsp;She met her husband (a patient) at the center who recovered. &nbsp;She then opened up her own convalescence home in her house after she married. Her granddaughter, my mother, had TB in her ‘40’s. &nbsp;We were all tested periodically. This video could explain so many mystery illnesses that run in our family similar to your case study. &nbsp;Thanks for sharing this video, it’s been very informative.

  The hospital I worked at here in the USA didn’t isolate patients until a disease was confirmed, instead of isolating until it was ruled out. So unfortunately I was exposed to active TB patients on several occasions. It’s kind of frustrating after caring for a patient for 3 days then you get orders to put them in an isolation negative pressure room 😳 Then the hospital, as gracious and concerned for staff as they are, told us if we get sick they would test us for no charge 🙄 I’m amazed more people don’t have TB but surprisingly there are more cases than one realizes !<br>Blessings

  Please NEVER stop making these videos!! &nbsp;I just graduated from NP school and am currently studying for boards... and these videos have become a hobby for listening during my free time. They are structured in such a logical yet interesting fashion, and absolutely help me to think like a clinician-- from assessment, to considering differentials, to diagnosis and treatment!

  My Mother (born in the 1940&apos;s US) was quarantined in her bedroom during primary school for 9 months after Doctors diagnosed her with TB. As an adult, she started having some lung issues. There was some scarring in her lungs, and it was thought to be TB scars. They ran tests, and found out she never even had TB! What she had was Histoplasmosis. She grew up in the Mid-Ohio Valley (Histoplasmosis is pretty common here), on a farm with lots of chickens. And as an adult when she started having lung issues again, we owned several Canaries in our house. She missed a whole year of school as a kid for no reason, and didn&apos;t find out for about 40 years!

  Just to brag a little bit, as soon as scarring of the lungs came up I immediately thought of TB. I&apos;m basically a doctor now!

  Hi. &nbsp;In the late 80s, a lady I worked with in the hospital laundry was diagnosed with TB just before she retired. &nbsp;She continued working with us. &nbsp;She’d have some coughing fits but she also had asthma fairly bad. &nbsp;Believe me, the dust from the lint in there was unreal. &nbsp;We’d look up at the fluorescent lights hanging 20 ft above us, there was giant balls of lint hanging from the lights shades. &nbsp;Some of it was green from all the OR linens including the hospital greens Drs wore. &nbsp;She said she wasn’t told she was contagious and her GP didn’t give her a letter for work to stay away. &nbsp;She’s in her late 80s now and going strong. 😊❤️🇨🇦

  I am from india , a medical student , here it been so strict NTEP i.e national tb elimination programe going on which covers the remotest areas , patient has to take all medications in front of the health care worker alloted..let me make it clearer , health care worker visits regularly to patients homes and becomes eye witness that patient isnt skipping medication . This is soo soo strictly followed and hopefully we will achieve the set targets . Fingers crossed .🤞

  My Mother&apos;s knee pain was triggered by slow growing cervical cancer. For years my Mother kept it a complete secret. She didn&apos;t want to go through a cervical operation because it would have been months in a wheelchair. For a long time her left leg it would give out making her almost unable to walk. She went to a gynaecologist getting treatment with certain drugs. She had left knee replacement surgery but she said she still couldn&apos;t walk . Finally in 2004 she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and died in January 2008. The cervical cancer most likely spread. My mother went to Rheumatologists for years and got nowhere! They turned their backs on her.
