One More Tragedy:
This young man -- just 24 -- is in the last stage of pulmonary tuberculosis. The doctor on duty says that he is already beyond help, like many other gravely ill displaced persons who have been forced to flee their homes by the fighting. The patient was given an IV drip and a chest tube in the emergency room and transferred upstairs to the TB ward. He died less than 48 hours later. |
