historic drystone sheep dykeWhy’d they call it tuberculosis and not phlegm fatale
abby@hannah I'm filling out the required TB paperwork with a new TB patient in just a bit here, I wonder if they'd find this funny...

Cheetah Fluff@hannah right? the tubers have nothing to do with it.

For the same reason that those things are called dentures instead of substitooths.

💉*9 Roger@hannah because you can get TB in parts of the body other than the lungs. Sorry to spoil a good joke (and it is a good joke). My grandfather had it in his lungs and it eventually killed him, but he had a colleague who got it in a finger which had to be amputated. This was a very long time ago and medicine has advanced hugely, which is great.
