For what it's worth... Can you agree that a non-resistant strain would be better than TDR-TB ?
I'd rather see you go through the "sort of like asthma and pneumonia, bronchitis and 'flu all at once" rather than the "actually dying", if that's ok ?
On a slightly related note, I've always thought that "bedridden" was so tame a term... it sounds so commonplace. The French term, "grabataire", sounds so much more desperate and terminal (and refers to dingy (dying?) beds that maids would have in the attic).
Oh, if you like, I don't think my neurones care what strain it is, they just want it. So long as I get to cough up blood a couple of times it's fine to be the curable sort.
Hee - bedridden - it kinda sounds like you're infesting your own bed, like flea-ridden. You're right - 'grabataire' is a much cooler phrase =)
There are some doctor types that practice it - or there were, possibly in the US - because I remember a news report about a bunch of people who thought it was great and said it had cured them of stuff and was like the best mind-trip ever. Or something. So it's not entirely beyond possibility...
