For those of you who are like myself and have no idea what an Infectious Disease Specialist is I found this website that gives a great description (http://www.idsociety.org/Template.cfm?Section=What_is_an_ID_Specialist_). I thought I would include some quotes from it so you know what type of doctor Mal will be seeing tomorrow. I know I was curious because it sounded like a nasty kind of occupation.
-"Infectious Disease Specialists are like medical detectives. They examine difficult cases, looking for clues to identify the culprit and solve the problem."
-"Your doctor might refer you to an ID specialist in cases where an infection is difficult to diagnose, is accompanied by a high fever, or does not respond to treatment."
-"A blood serum analysis can help the ID specialist detect antibodies that indicate what type of infection you have. These advanced tests can further explain the results of earlier tests, helping to pinpoint the problem."
