About the Book

This book is in Spanish (este libro está en español). See Dr. Gutierrez reading the introduction and first pages: http: //youtu.be/dB_fcF7NRjA. Dr. Gutierrez wrote letters daily from a small town in the jungle to his parents during his Medical Internship in 1950 and 1951 in the State of Chiapas, Mexico. He was 23 years old and the only doctor for many miles around. He encountered a myriad of diseases and challenges among his patients and describes his experiences in great detail. There was tetanus, diphteria, malaria, firearms, machetes, venomous snakes, rain, heat, mud. He helped and saved many, a few did not make it. He had the only radio in town, he organized soccer and volley ball games, he set up a vaccination campaign. Esta historia consiste de las cartas que escribió el Dr. Carlos Gutiérrez Martínez en 1950 y 1951 desde el Estado de Chiapas, México, cuando era un joven de 23 años de edad haciendo su servicio social para recibirse de Médico Cirujano. Estudió medicina en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Las cartas son testamento vívido de las experiencias que comenzaron la formación de este gran médico. Durante casi seis meses estuvo como único médico en el pueblo de Juárez, Chiapas. La manera de llegar en 1950 requería de un viaje largo en tren o en camión (autobús) desde la Ciudad de México hasta Pichucalco, de allí a caballo o en avión a Juárez, porque los caminos eran muy difíciles en coche. Sufrió molestias e incomodidades como el calor, la humedad y los mosquitos. Gozó de triunfos y de dificultades, como haber salvado la vida de un hombre mordido por una víbora nauyaca y como haber visto los tristes y horribles resultados del tétanos. Organizó partidos de voleibol y llevó uno de los primeros radios del lugar. Las cartas las mandó principalmente a sus padres, Don Carlos Gutiérrez Berriel y Doña Enriqueta Martínez en la Ciudad de México. Menciona a muchas personas que incluyen sus hermanos, sus primos, sus tíos y a mucha gente que llegó a conocer en Chiapas. Aunque este relato me ha impresionado personalmente por ser hija del doctor, creo que será emotivo para otras personas a quienes les interese la medicina, México, Chiapas y la vida de un joven soñador.
