Cronin's best-known novel, "The Citadel" (1937), made into "a 1938 film of the same name" by King Vidor, the idealistic protagonist, Dr. Andrew Manson, is dedicated to treating Welsh miners suffering from tuberculosis.He later assists a tuberculosis specialist in successfully performing a pneumothorax on a girl who is dying from the disease.Shame is brought to Sheilagh Fielding's Newfoundland family in Wayne Johnston's "The Colony of Unrequited Dreams", as she has tuberculosis even though her father is a doctor.
