Tuberculosis

Description

Not only do Maniquins scare me, but I came across the Waverly Hills Sanitorium Website in search of something to do this summer. I now realize how horrible the actual TB was and still is.

During the 1920s through 1940s TB was taking up to 44.5 lives in a 100,000 population every day. Waverly Hills was the biggest TB center during that time. Over 100,000 TB victims fell in that Sanitorium. They did horrible experimental surgeries, including procedurs were they took out ribs and lungs to help the patients. Only near the 1940s did they come out with an antibotic for the virus.

In all I needed to draw something about it. So here it is, and now im gonna try and get some sleep. Enjoy.
