Same person who asked the question about diseases a few minutes ago . . . I'm writing a book, and I want to know how tuberculosis was dealt with in the 40s. Did they go to hospitals, or just stay home and die, or what? I know there was no cure, so I'm just wondering. This character is in his 50's or 60's, lives in New York City, and doesn't have a lot of money.

During the 1940's all the doctors gave the sick people antibiotics. Antibiotics were used for anything. They were also used for tuberculosis. These antibiotics also caused many hospitals to close.However, this info might be useful: when people took the antibiotics, they thought they were getting better so they would stop taking the antibiotics. However, some of the bacteria still survives and becomes immune to the antibiotics which causes the person to have TB again, and this time probably die, unless they are prescribed another, stronger drug
