Highlights
It is an unsettling thing to be asked to write a commentary on your own career, especially when you feel it’s barely begun! You can add to that the somewhat awkward problem of being surrounded by actual luminaries in the Infectious Diseases field in South Africa whose names bookend author lists in the New England Journal of Medicine with embarrassing regularity
I currently head up the Division of Infectious Diseases at Helen Joseph Hospital and the University of the Witwatersrand, and I came to the field in an unusual way
Realising at some level that I risked turning into a frustrated biologist, I gravitated towards the one branch of internal medicine that routinely looked beyond Homo sapiens and at least acknowledged a few tens of thousands of other organisms too
