if ur ppd positive and refuse to take the inh - they cant refuse to take u in. but u have to be regularly followed up. its a usmleworld question kinda situation

i wud disagree....u r a risk to patients and therefore u need to be cleared medically fit to practice....so they prob can take measures to prevent u from working unless u r deemed fit...
