Why I’m an infectious disease specialist
“Primarily, my interest in infectious diseases. The task of the infectious disease physician is the early recognition of infection and prompt institution of effective and safe antimicrobial therapy when required. What I like most about what I do is the ability to restore health to the ill.”
