Kung sa tingin mo ay na-expose ka sa taong may tuberculosis, magpatingin ka sa iyong doctor. Kapag nawari ng doctor mo na baka nahawaan ka, isasailalim ka niya sa mga pagsusuri. Magpatingin ka kaagad sa doctor mo sa sandaling maisip mo na naexpose ka sa tuberculosis at sabihin mo sa kanya kung gaano mo katagal nakasama ang taong infected. Kadalasan matagal at malapit na contact bago mapasa ang tuberculosis. Halimbawa nito ang paggamit ng parehang banyo, higaan, kusina o pahingahan sa taong may aktibong tuberculosis. Iba’t ibang pagsusuri ang kadalasang ginagawa para malaman kung mayroon ka ba talagang tuberculosis. Pwedeng gawin ng iyong doctor ang ilan sa mga ito, pero ang iba naman ay kailangan ipaubaya sa spesyalista tulad ng pulmonologist.

My uncles and aunts were pediatricians and family physicians, so I had an inkling that I would do primary care. So at a young age, I dreamt of becoming a physician.
