Tuberculosis (TB), while rare in the United States today, remains a potent killer in developing nations. In the U.S. in the mid-20th century, the impact of TB was real and devastating. In this 1944 film, farmer Peter Borik has tuberculosis but refuses to be treated in a sanatorium. He remains bedridden at home, where no precautions are taken against the spread of infection. Both his daughters contract TB, and one dies.
Produced by the Michigan Tuberculosis Association

I'm a mental health social worker in a hospital. For people who will need some type of residential treatment after hospital, we HAVE to provide proof of no active TB. So, if the person refuses a chest xray or tb skin test, then they're out of luck for getting residential services. It's STILL that important!
I just talked with my friend who told me one of her best friends she hangs out with-who is a nurse, and the friend’s ex boyfriend(s) has TB. As in active TB. In the State of NC.
I asked her if her friend was treated and she said no, it’s not that big of a deal. 😱. The boyfriend died last week from unknown causes *(he was in his 40’s). The nurse works in a pediatric office in NC.
People don't take it seriously anymore but it's still very serious if you don't get treatment.
My mom was a nurse in the early 1940s. Her first job was at a sanitorium. Sadly, most patients did not survive.
Tuberculosis was the Coronavirus and attitude of the 1940's.
TB is real.
@@mr.scoggins as well as coronavirus
@@mr.scoggins I insist that all covid disbelievers sign right now in the presence of a lawyer an officially legalized refusal to get treatment against COVID, if they ever be diagnosed with it, I am serious af now. But you'll never do that because you all Disbelievers are officially liars and cheapness low price. #disbelieverchallenge
@@cielphantomhive3202 I think a lot of disbelievers attitudes is due to fear. I believe they prefer to pretend Covid does not exist than face the reality, so this is a weakness in their reasoning. Unfortunately for many of them they suffered and died of Covid and in their ignorance also caused the suffering and deaths of others. I don't know but perhaps we should try to be more understanding of their fear and ignorance. Now we have the offensive anti-vaxxers to deal with also! No one likes the idea of vaccinations, but the reality is they are far safer than catching Covid.
Ps. Your link does not lead anywhere.
T.B. killed far more people than COVID
My grandfather and an infant uncle died if TB, in the early 1920's and I became a TB Nurse. The treatment is a lot better today than back then!!!
Wow ! Such an neat reason why you chose nursing for your career and TB nurse to boot.
I had massive doses of antibiotics and vitamins. I lost 30 pound. I have chest x-rays every year. I was quarantined for 30 days.
@@tammyashley4997 medicine has improved a lot, but the course of medications we have for Tb today, is still a long one, with multiple antibiotics. Tb is not easy to eradicate.
@@shakti7457 It's not a nice thing to go through. All the antibiotics are hard on the body. You have to have chest x-ray's every year.
A major network should show this in times of COVID.
It would expose the fraud of COVID if that were done. This depicts nuclear families working at manual jobs - that is not promoted in today's narrative.
@@jasong428 fraud of Covid! Hope when you contract it, you won't be treated, sign an official legalized refusal for a hospital NOW, be a good boy, don't take the place of a human with brains.
@@cielphantomhive3202 Done and done, dipshit.
@@cielphantomhive3202 it really offends folks when you blaspheme their covidism. I lived through spring 2020 in the midwest without a mask. I must be indestructible or blessed by the spirit of donald trump.
@@jasong428 that very moment when the sarcasm is so subtle, one's wondering if it is there at all🤣 my aquantaince once jumped up when criminals were shooting each other and got a scratch on his forehead by a bullet. Because he got a scratch, he started shouting: "It's softball guns, all ok!" 3 of his friends, who jumped up after "all ok" yell, died in the hospital from 7.62 bullets, one got it to stomach, one to the throat, one died in 2 weeks with the torn through colon. You have a brainbro in one small Russian town. I assume the casualties will be the same🙋♂️ happy marriage with Donald Trump 💑 P.S. it doesn't offend me when natural selection wipes out dull witted, i am all for it. Bye 👋👋
Those covid Disbelievers need to watch this
Tb is real
@@mr.scoggins so is Covid
No use, they have no brain. Oops.
I insist that all covid disbelievers sign right now in the presence of a lawyer an officially legalized refusal to get treatment against COVID, if they ever be diagnosed with it, I am serious af now. Or you all Disbelievers are officially liars and cheapness low price. #disbelieverchallenge
@@cielphantomhive3202 yeah, I had it, twice, yet here I am, and well no symtoms once so ever, soooo? Now what?
I had to be treated for TB in 1994 for 2 years. I caught it while working in a federal prison.
Johnny sure was a good man.
My grandfather had TB in he nearly lost his leg through it at one point in the hospital I was a small child at the time anyway we were all tested incase any of the family had it but it is and was a terrible disease my grandfather was ok in didnt lose his leg either he got the treatment needed
There was still a TB Sanatarium in my home town in the late 1970's.
Fascinating film, and I'm an MD who has dealt with plenty of TB in my day. The copyright of the film is interesting. Streptomycin came into use in1944, along with para amino salicylic acid (PAS), and the developers of Strepto mycin got the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1952. It was an amazing breakthrough. TB and Malaria remain the two greatest infectious killers on earth to this day, HIV and Covid don't even come close. INH came along in the early 50s and essentially allowed cure of TB. The sanitariums could only offer diet, sunlight (Vitamin D is a major player in the immune system, and UV light reduced the bacterial burden, somewhat), and better quality air for the damaged lung. Sadly, the primitive thinking shown in the film has not changed, today we call them "anti-vaxers". The same ignorance, the same devotion to voodoo, and ultimately the same death rates. I was prepared to laugh at the film. It is an excellent historical perspective.
Sad, but true. But general selection and balanced biocenosis works as Swiss watch, the nature has to cut the heads of this overwhelmingly dull-witted herd so they don't ruminate the whole planet including stones, why not those rabbits stupid enough to jump into the rope, bog or directly into the mouth of a wolf with a victorious scream: "Ye ahll lieee"?. Too bad, too bad. Sadly, the clever but weak exposed too, but you know what? The nature won't notice neither of both "groups" absence, probably feels better to get rid of another couple of flees. You can't transplant brain, or grow any for that matter, given the letters printed by THE OPINIONATED here. Alas. Whatever, let them all parish, less 2-legged: more space, more air, less evil.
Did u get your two jabs?
I knew someone was going to compare this to the vackzine. People are dropping like flies now, with “no explanation”. Meanwhile, vackzed people are showing huge long cordlike bludklots that make the embalming process nearly impossible for morticians. Ask any mortician if he or she is vackzed. They will either tell you they are not, or they will reply “yes” in regret. The vackzine has only helped one demographic: the old and weak, who were never exposed to the virus. If you have had the virus, you don’t need the vackz...end of. If you have had the vackzine...all I can tell you is make sure you take aspirin. Maybe that can give you a few days.
Btw, I’m not antivax. I have no problem with true vaccines that killed childhood illnesses such as polio, mumps, etc. But the klotshotz they gave out “free" are not true vackzines. And I'm against the gummit requiring us to get vackzt, when it's our decision. My husband lost his job and our life savings when he had a gut feeling not to get vackzt. I supported that decision. But we paid dearly. And because so many complied, I fear for their future...my kids' future; for my mom's future
this was the number one cause of death around 1900
History is repeating itself....same mindset, different disease.
TB is real.
White men smh
General selection of weak brains, as sad as it may sound
@@mr.scoggins coronavirus as well
"everyone should have an xray every year. " Yikes. And she's pregnant.
And it was high dose radiation! Today we can X-ray pregnant women, IF we need to. With lawyers ever present overlooking our shoulders, we try not to. The yearly X-ray has disappeared as a diagnostic tool for TB, although I still like them to monitor heart size, COPD, and yes, looking for the rare calcified lymph node that is one of the herald signs of TB. It's still here today, it still kills, it is still under diagnosed. It's just that the numbers are down significantly in 1st World countries. NOT TRUE of the 3rd world, along with America's now newly reopened borders for everyone to come and go (except American citizens...)
I have a question. If you’re pregnant with TB what treatments are safe to take? Had Clara gotten the treatments how would they have affected the baby?
My mother father, my grandfather bleed to death on the sofa from TB.. My mother was 13 , that happened 1949...
TB in 2017, in the US at least... is curable, and controllable. But not if people don't care for themselves, get their antibiotics, get vaccinations or whatever inoculations are required.
Newly diagnosed TB is now down to one month of therapy, with close monitoring.
My granddad died of TB in the 50s. They said it was emphysema and didn’t do a test until too late.
😢
Scary that the Tb worker did not have a form of protection on her face for that attempted home visit as well
They didn't know. I didn't begin wearing gloves when I drew blood until well into the HIV era. And face shields for medical personnel didn't become widespread until this past year. It doesn't seem so, but we keep learning with each new disease. In my medical career alone, I've gone from Legionnaires Disease to AIDS/HIV to SARS to Covid. None of these existed or had so much as a paragraph in any medical textbook the day I graduated from Med School.
@@davidh9844 gee, i didn't realize just how terrified I AM!!!!
@@davidh9844 True. Even in the 90s things were still a little lax
Surely by 1944 penicillin was available, just wondering if it was kept back for the guys fighting in the war as it was still very new.
diecast jam It was reserved for the war effort. A family friend told us a story once. She had a chest infection, and the sulfa drugs didn't stop it. Her doctor said, "Well there's this new drug called penicillin. It's reserved for the war effort, but I'll see if I can get some." Somehow he did, and "Aunt" Gladys lived to be well over 100.
Penicillin doesn't work for TB. The first drug for use with TB was streptomycin which was used in the 1940's.
Penicillin doesn't work for TB. Isoniazid became available in 1952 and then Ethambutol in the early 60s. They tried using Streptomycin in the 40s, but it was very toxic and killed as many as it saved. Penicillin never was able to kill TB.
Because of antibiotic-resistant mutations of the TB bacteria, it is difficult to cure. People with TB are given a range of older and newer drugs to cure it nowadays.
The reason that it's difficult to treat is because of large number of bacteria build a "wall" around them, called a tubercle, which gives them protection against antibiotics. When the tubercles are destroyed, the antibiotics have done the hard work and can then disrupt the life cycle of the bacteria, killing them. When the patient is cured, scar tissue from the tubercle and dead bacteria can form in the lungs. Also, TB can migrate to other parts of the body in more advanced cases. People begin to lose a lot of weight as the disease progresses. In the 19th century, TB was called Consumption because of the weight loss, increasing shortness of breath, large amounts of sputum coughed up from the lungs and, of course, extreme fatigue.
It had been rare in the US, but there's been an uptake in the number of cases in recent years.
@@marylclc1269 i want my mommy
Oh Dear God is this not relevant today?! At least they were considered "quacks" back then as well.
My mom made the best tomato gravy. I loved it on fried taters.
Recipe?
Never heard of tomato gravy but it sounds good
@@loravipperman3061
You know it as Ketchup
I remember that about your mom.
@@justinthyme7275 OMG that's hilarious! LMFAO
Peter still wanted to gossip with the neighbors, verbally abuse his wife, and boss everyone in the house around...so he refused to stay in the hospital where he belonged, and infected his family with TB in the process.
Johnny Carson ??? Heeeeyyyoooo !
Heeeeeeeeerz Jaw-Knee
Ahh the days before HIPAA
My mom had tb and polio.
🙁
That's rough🙁 I can't imagine being a child with a sick mom. Especially 2 serious diseases! Did she survive them both?
Except a pregnant woman can't safely have x rays....
The family wasn’t educated on what to do when he went back home? Who cares what Peter thinks? They don’t say anything other than they don’t believe they can catch it. Did anyone try to explain it to them? The tuberculosis worker isn’t wearing a mask so how is that helpful to them?
I thought it was airborne, not spread by touch.
Coughing on the lipstick...with active TB. Yup...I'm done.
Covid 19
Wow Clara died! Surprise ending
Are we sure johnny isn't bumping the family off for their farm?
it's not a funny subject.
That t b worker.
Cool hairdo.
I Don't feel bad for Clara ..
Kkkk
Wow the propaganda!
Where's your mask Peter?... And your MAGA hat?
You are showing the same ignorance that was displayed in the film.
@@davidh9844 leave him alone, he's in the crosshair of natural selection's Barrett and you wouldn't want the Big Mommy Nature to miss. She can get seriously pissed off.
Only the Irish carry TB.
Seriously😂😂😂 not true.
Racism rearing its ugly head.
Oh for God's sake what a stupid thing to say.
@@eunicestone838 Is that ugly head a ginger?
Go to school like a normal person and take health class. Either your just a racist or an idiot.
