It went something like this..

Colleague: " So pulmonary tuburculosis is localised to the lungs, but if the granuloma fails due to immuno-suppression you can get invasion in to the blood, which is military TB."
Myself: "Military TB?"
Colleague: "Yeah, military TB."
Myself " Do you mean Miliary TB?
Colleague "What? Miliary? I've been reading that as military all week!"
Other colleague "Me too."

Oh dear! Having it as military would make more sense though...

  2. Hey! Thanks for reading! I've been stalking your blog quietly. Unfortunately I've had hardly any contact with clinicians yet. I'm still dying to see what being a doctor is actually like!

    Soon though... Soon!
