TB Unit in Warning About Procrastination "I didn't have time," is a famous phrase that the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association has been fighting for over fifty years. One of the things that many people don't think they have time for is a precautionary visit to the doctor. Practically every citizen agrees in principle that this is a dandy idea and everybody else ought to take care of it right away. As for himself, he'll get around to it real soon, but right at the moment he doesn't have time.
