In poems like "Clinic", Masla gives readers a sensory description of her experience in medical offices. What thoughts or feelings does The Underdream evoke putting the reader in her shoes? #TBReaders

"Clinic (excerpt)
Hushed careful voices, the metal sound of the scale, whisper - mutter (the way people talk when they only half-want you
not to hear), voices clip board stiff, & tense,
she's still too thin --
while outside, June.
Robust, pulsing.
-The Underdream, Aiyana Masla"

For up to 60% of people cured of TB, treatment isn't the end of the journey. That's why we're thrilled to have @PIH.org's Dr. Carole Mitnick join us for a TB Ed Talk about post-TB lung disease and the pilot intervention she's part of! Learn more and submit questions here: tbfighters.org/tb-ed...

We have active TB in Canada, specifically in our Inuit communities

And a terrible history of "treating" it, with relocation to the south, away from family & community, and a lot of trauma

It is beyond time to end TB in Canada

We can do this.
