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

Thank you Dr. Berjis for coming up with a nonnarcotic treatment plan! I don't know if you read my chart (which I suspect you did given everything else you knew) or are conscientious of the opioid crisis, either way, my hats off to you good sir for having an alternative so quickly.
