Because in the government clinic, TB gets you free medicine. Silicosis gets you a long stare and a question — 'Do you have proof you worked there?' The quarry owner just changes our names anyway. I watched my cousin cough himself to death, and the paper said 'TB'. They gave his wife a bottle of syrup and a bill. The cause is known, but counting us would mean paying us, na? And our lungs are cheaper than that.
