I suffered from pleural effusion about ten years ago, though luckily it was not TB. I cannot remember all the details of the treatment, but I did have to undergo draining which was under local anasthesia. There were several sessions over the course of about 10 months.

I don't want to rain on your parade but have you considered the much longer working hours in India, the absolute lack of any work-life balance in most fields, and the long commute times? You may not have time to see your own family, or the extended family. As you have never worked in India, perhaps ...

[QUOTE=spartan;319368]After reading this thread title once again and its tone, I can tell your husband will be stressed even more while he takes a year off, due to the repurcussions ,the 'friendly' home environment while looking for new avenues and the guilt accompanied . He may start liking his ...
