Do they work in hospitals?
What is a normal day like for an infectious disease doctor?
Is it exciting? In the hospital where I work and ID doctor generally does rounds to see their patients, has consultations to see new patients that may have an ID (eg..things like osteomyelitis in their bones due to chronically infected wounds), manage programs that identify and treat groups of people with ID's eg. some refugees have a high incidence of TB and we have a TB clinic in our hospital. They write policy and protocols for staff when dealing with patients with diseases like MRSA. They also report incidences of ID within their juurisdiction to the Government as required by law.
I imagine their jobs would vary considering what type of hospital they work in and the country in which they work. |
