During your visit, your doctor or the TB test provider will measure and check the bump to see if you have TB.

These wonderful, incredible people saved my dad's life in Nov 2021. He's immunocompromised and had COVID, and he was not doing well at all. But he was adamant about not going to a hospital, because everyone we know who was admitted for COVID didn't make it out alive. (It's still happening too: just lost another cousin today to the killer protocols.) I truly believe that if my dad hadn't received the treatment and meds that he was given here, we would have lost him. He recovered, thanks to the staff at Bulldog Urgent Care & their life-saving assistance. He's regained his strength, and is now back to doing things that alarm his regular doctors-- they don't believe 81 y.o. men should be climbing on roofs to repair them, or working outside for hours in the summer heat in GA, for instance. :) But that's just my dad! I can NEVER thank you enough for what you did to save my daddy. But I will keep all of you in my prayers for the rest of my life. You're my heroes, and I am eternally grateful.
