Contracting TB

Published

I know people shun the thought of TB as the diseases of the poor. I dont know how I contracted the disease but I am currently taking treatment. PPD was positive and they saw something in my XRAY. I have been crying for the past few weeks or so. I'm mad at myself. Also, somewhat disappointed. Also, I'm thinking of pursuing another career. It's like all this time I spent on taking care of may patients, and this is what I get. I need your words of encouragement. I dont know what to do at the moment. I'm currently applying for jobs abroad but they saw it while I was undergoing medical. Now, I'm thinking I have no hope.
