Oh no! My physical exam was okay, but my tb skin test is positive! Darn it! The doctor said that, that doesn’t mean I have an active tuberculosis. It’s just that most people born outside the United States, like Asians, may have had a vaccine called BCG, which can have a test result to a false-positive. She just asked me to have a chest X-ray. If that’s clear, then I’m good. I know I’m okay, but it still bothers me. Off to have an X-ray then. Later!
