Abstract

The daily infectious diseases round in a public teaching hospital is mainly focused on diagnostics, therapeutics and antimicrobial stewardship. But it also provides a precious opportunity to reflect on various topics that add to the educational background and professional performance of the healthcare worker. In this article, the authors offer their point of view about different issues, such as the role of Humanism, the necessary balance between academy and healthcare assistance, the paradox of technological development; and others -more specific to the ID specialist- like the impact of antimicrobial resistance, the role of traditional antibiotic treatments, and the progress and setbacks in the new antibiotics pipeline.
