I knew a little about the sanatoriums, but not as much as I learned from this show. And barges!?! I never knew about that! Thanks for the scientific method and the testing of hypotheses for coming up with a cure for TB. But, there is still more to go since the latest strains of TB don't respond anymore to streptomycin.

I'm never disappointed with anything The American Experience does. A top-notch series, for sure.
