I was put in isolation for 2 weeks because the hospital thought I might have TB. From what I was told the test is not 100 percent accurate in catching the disease. They had to do a bronchoscope to verify that my infection was caused by something other than TB. That leaves me to wonder if they are catching all the individuals that might actually have it.

I was locked in the TB Ward at Milwaukee General for 9 months! Lost everything. Then they figured out it was A-Typical, not contagious, and that I’d probably gotten it gardening. Lots of strains of TB. And I’d gotten the vaccine at Kent State in ‘64. I recall the vaccine was administered by a “jet” type gadget, that blasted the vaccine through your skin. No needles.
