Unfortunately, most of the strains are resistant to antibiotics. Whats really scary is when we have a patient that has been walking the hallways and rooming with another patient , just to find out they have turned out postive on a TB test.

You can do a general serach for TB on the internet. Contact your local health department for outbreaks in your area. Speak with your regular doctor. You can even search for information through Centers for Disease Control. (CDC)

Sadly, Tuberculosis is not dead yet.

Hi, i found this page recently and after looking at those great images and reading the posts i must tell that i feel almost at home, i apologise if sometimes my english is not as good as i'd like it to be, hope you will be indulgent with me. Congratulations!

Happy B-Day Ed! Nah these are from June.

Grifspop, most of these exposures were around 12 minutes, at F8.

scary

git-r-done

Hey, Motts, how long did you leave the shutter open to get these? I really like the way the earth's rotation makes the stars look like shooting stars.

I thought Gettysburg was a national monument, thus can not be touched by Wal*Mart. I was only there once. Easter Sunday 1964

Motts, I've said it before. Again, you're a very talented individual.

where can i get information about TB

The've been trying to protect Gettysburg for years. It's such a lovely, hallowed place. I hope it continues to be protected, but who knows? Humankind has been known to build eyesores wherever they can. It's another one of those magical places my Dad introduced me to.

I would like to pass on my symaphthy to the man's family as he was in an Iron Lung for 50 years and he died did this week. In Shenton Park WA I did'nt know him or his family but it must of been a very hard life to live.

I worked 3-11 Sun thru Thur, as the custodian, at Dixmont, in the late 70's.
I think the residents were more SCARED than scary.
Many of them actually had jobs on the hospital grounds

I crossed this bridge twice a day when I was a custodian.
Reed Hall was the main building at the time.
The entrance was flanked by benches,in an almost park like setting.
Most of the "residents" were ambulatory, and strolled the grounds.
I still live less than three miles away.

Dixmont had its own steam-generated electric plant,water treatment, fruit orchards, vegetable gardens. it could have been completely self-sufficient if needed

Nice one,real cool
