In high school, I won a prize for an essay on tuberculosis. When I got through writing the essay, I was sure I had the disease.
The cure for bad politics is the same as the cure for tuberculosis. It is living in the open.
These diagnostic profiles like depression, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, it's half science and the other half is a committee of doctors bickering over what it should be, and it has changed. It's not precise like a diagnosis of tuberculosis would be very precise.
No one has developed active tuberculosis.
The poison of skepticism becomes, like alcoholism, tuberculosis, and some other diseases, much more virulent in a hitherto virgin soil.
Whatever happened to the good old days: you know, dirty attics, tuberculosis and general all-round suffering?
Tuberculosis, starvation, fatigue, and there are many who have no desire to live.
I was a sickly child, contracting tuberculosis at the age of five.
This is a mighty wonder: in the discharge from the lungs alone, which is not particularly dangerous, the patients do not despair of themselves, even although near the last. Concerning Tuberculosis.
Well the Global Fund, because of how well it's worked on not only AIDS, but also malaria and tuberculosis, I'd say it's well accepted. I mean, it's not politically controversial that this is a great humanitarian effort. But budgets are very very tight.
The earth is suffocating. . . Swear to make them cut me open, so that I won't be buried alive.
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.
The biggest public health challenge is rebuilding health systems. In other words, if you look at cholera or maternal mortality or tuberculosis in Haiti, they're major problems in Haiti, but the biggest problem is rebuilding systems.
The United States has put more money on HIV, AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis than any country in the world and it's having an impact real quick.
Hysteria, epilepsy, tuberculosis, and cancer were all found to result from the erratic propensities of a past life.
I wanted to explore cancer not just biologically, but metaphorically. The idea that tuberculosis in the 19th century possessed the same kind of frightening and decaying quality was very interesting to me, and it seemed that one could explore the idea that every age defined its own illness.
The biggest disease today is not leprosy or cancer or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling or being unwanted, uncared for, deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference towards one's neighbor who lives at the roadside, the victim of exploitation, corruption, poverty, and disease.
The fantasies inspired by TB in the last century, by cancer now, are responses to a disease thought to be intractable and capricious--that is, a disease not understood--in an era in which medicine's central premise is that all diseases can be cured.
Oh yeah, I would have been a coal miner, I would think, if I hadn't had tuberculosis when I was 12.
To prove that tuberculosis is caused by the invasion of bacilli, and that it is a parasitic disease primarily caused by the growth and multiplication of bacilli, it is necessary to isolate the bacilli from the body, to grow them in pure culture until they are freed from every disease product of the animal organism, and, by introducing isolated bacilli into animals, to reproduce the same morbid condition that is known to follow from inoculation with spontaneously developed tuberculous material.
