Registered Nurse here; Sweetie you work in health care, this is just one of the hazards, contacting communicable diseases. As for as suing, this would be a question to ask a malpractice attorney. TB is scary, but remember there is a cure for TB. You take antibiotics and INH for about 6 weeks, I believe the INH continues for about six months. On the bright side, I also have tested positive with the TB tine test for years, many times when one is exposed to TB there immune system builds up antibiotics against the disease, therefore one will test positive for your immune system already has antibodies against the disease. But the Chest X-ray will most likely be negative. I'm thinking and feel pretty confident that you being in health care your bodies immune system has already built up defenses against this disease. Hang in there, don't borrow trouble, wait for the chest X-ray and Remember it's 100% curable, should the X-Ray be positive. As one health care worker to another, keep your chip up, and I will keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer. But either way, you will be fine.
