Tuberculosis: The Forgotten Plague (Preview)

Archives reveal the "forgotten plague” that shaped Southern California: tuberculosis. Lost LA host Nathan Masters explores how California’s fresh air and sunshine drew "consumptives" to local sanatoriums as well as the stark realities of life as a TB patient. Featured interviews include USC’s William Deverell, the Los Angeles Times’ Patt Morrison and infectious disease specialist Dr. Brenda Jones.
