[@eddydiaz2609]

It was the equivalent of being diagnosed with lung cancer, except even worse because there was really *no* treatment for either disease in 1899. I guess, at least, unlike lung cancer, you had a *slim* chance of surviving TB even in 1899, but even then that chance only came if the ideal conditions were met. Perhaps if Arthur had decided to stay and rest in Scarlett Meadows.

The Sanatarium would only prolong the inevitable. Active tuberculosis requires broad spectrum antibiotics to cure that simply did not exist at the time.

There is a random encounter north from Saint Denis. A wounded man wants you to take him to this doctor and if you take him there, doctor recognize you and is impressed that you had strenght to carry him there. I remember when I first did this event, I rushed to the doctor and helped him, because that random person in Saint Denis also helped Arthur to the doctor 😄

[@a_j1menez]

You know, I met a man, his name was Arthur I think. He was a bit sarcastic but he kept coming back to the hospital and seeing him grew on me a bit, I didn’t think the tb would kill him since he kept coming back to the hospital. Although eventually he stopped coming back.... I hope he’s in a nice place now

[@lewisjones4737]

A what if you never see with red dead is what if Arthur took the doctors advice, headed out west with John, Sadie, and some others that were by that point already loyal to him. Not likely but a nice thought non the less. Interesting to think if he would have survived.

[@bfpierce]

When Arthur opens his mouth to say ahhh, I imagine his breath would be horrific. Rotten teeth, infected gums.

[@SephirothXRA]

TB may have been common in the late 19th century. Still, the doctor diagnosed it simply by Arthur looking sick and a cough with some occasional bloody sputum, which to me as a physician, is funny when I think of how we diagnose TB today with our multiple lab tests. A bloody cough could be lots of things, including cancer, bronchitis, infection (bad pneumoniae can cause bloody cough). Listening to the lungs and looking at the tongue will not really help that much in diagnosing TB. Granted, I know doctors back then had far more limited understanding of these diseases, how to diagnose, and treat (treatment for TB didn't come until the 1950s, and they only developed rudimentary microscopic staining abilities to diagnose in the late 1800s, around the time of this game).

[@Ezdine_G8261]

I mean it is a game

This is heartbreaking to watch. it really is. TB is serious. but to see everything Arthur did even being sick was monumental for a game character. I guess he will live on in everyone who was touched by this game. vaya con Dios Black lung.
