Some years ago, while doing a chest X-ray for a routine pre-employment medical examination, I found a curious little lesion at the apex of my right lung. For the medically inclined, this will ring alarm bells as the location of this lesion commonly points towards pulmonary tuberculosis. It’s of no surprise really, as healthcare workers are at higher risk of tuberculosis, and I’ve spent a good number of years around patients and while serving in a street clinic for the urban poor, interacted with some of the highest-risk populations for tuberculosis.
