PRACTICE REFLECTION I Have Met, At Last, Rosario!

Abstract

*Address correspondence to this author at the Infectious Diseases Unit, Jazzolino Hospital, piazza Fleming, 89900 Vibo Valentia, Italy; Tel/Fax: +39 0963 61219; E-mail: alfredovallone@yahoo.it until late in the evening. Doctors, nurses, and a good number of patients shared with ease their private lives in various ways and attended parties and important family events even in sad or controversial circumstances because the Sicilian society at the time was not artificial. Teams of healthcare workers and patients in the hospital related to each other in a nowadays unknown way that did not separate the clinical issues from the other spheres of the person. At times being in the hospital looked like standing in the town main square where you could meet people who were at ease because were not forced to get rid, as well as of their clothes, of their status and their condition.
