Why is it relevant that he is Indian?

  Maybe because it's still quite prevalent in India

    I guess it's a habit because whenever I told that story I was asked how he got tuberculoses in the first place (It's virtually extinct where I live)

  You're right, it's not relevant at all, it may only evoke bad sentiments. I'll edit it. Edit: forgot I can't edit it -.- Remembered why it was relevant: Since tuberculoses is still a problem in India, they already assumed that he may have tuberculoses before the diagnosis (he was coughing heavily and had signs of an ulcer). But not only did they keep him working, he was still in a tightly packed office with all the others.

    On second thought, this should have been obvious! Sorry for the snark, and I'm glad that you followed up with this.
