What does a positive TB test look like?

When you take the TB skin test, a huge bump will appear on your arm at the injection site if you have had a TB infection. This hump, which may appear red and bloated, indicates that you have tuberculosis germs in your body. During your visit, your doctor or the TB test provider will measure and check the bump to see if you have TB.

One of the better experiences I have had at urgent care. My wait was about an hour to get into triage. I was swabbed for three tests that I was told would take 10 minutes. Although it did take another 45-60 minutes for the doctor to deliver the results, I overheard that the staff was overworked, overbooked, and exhausted. They apparently had a very large influx of patients, and as a commercial service worker I understand. Everyone was friendly and thorough, and I believe they did the best they could. They are only human, and they are very nice humans indeed. I had Dr. Bradley Collins. I didn’t catch the receptionist’s name, but she was straightforward and helpful.

I contacted your office bright and early to set the earliest appointment I could my body ate and hurt from the top to my toes. I have severe fibromyalgia and it was attacking me pretty hard today. I never had felt this type of pain before the doctor that I had today was very helpful, understanding he listened to what my problems was and was able to try to help me as best as possible. Recommended that I seek a position at the hospital if the pain continued thank you so much. I will recommend you again in my life. You’re very kind.

We were visiting Nasville from Michigan when my daughter developed a fever with cough. Alex was our MA and was so sweet with my daughter. PA Matt was thorough and ruled out flu. The whole clinic was clean and so welcoming.
