Okay, if someone underwent a surgery for Tuberculosis in which bleeding areas of the lung were sewed up (or however you stop excessive bleeding in the lungs for Tuberculosis when only surgery will do), how long would it take for them to recover? Furthermore, what problems would and could come up during the recovery? Please be as specific as possible!

As a writer, I've got all sorts of interesting questions I find myself asking. Here's one: is it possible for someone to experience emotion without glands, hormones or any kind of physiological response? If not, then how close of an approximation would they reach? Would they behave as if they had emotion, or simply not feel anything at all?

I'd appreciate a source. You don't have to answer this little bonus question, but what about the inverse? What if someone had no cognitive concept of emotion (and perhaps could never conceive of one) but still felt the physiological aspects of emotion?
