edit data

Nací en la Ciudad de México, no hace poco, y he combinado dos pasiones, la medicina como médico radiólogo, y la literatura, primero como lector y luego escritor. Desde el año pasado me dedico exclusivamente a escribir. La Negra es mi primera, y hasta el momento, única obra publicada.
Me considero un preocupado crónico inquietado por la corrupción, la violencia y el fanatismo. Actualmente vivo en Monterrey con mi esposa.

ESOS ODIOSOS CONSULTORIOS

El irreprimible Hugo López-Gatell vuelve a la carga de nuevo, ahora en contra de los consultorios de las farmacias. Son, para él, algo indeseable. No necesariamente una amenaza o un peligro, más bien algo que ha de tolerarse por lo pronto. Ello porque, como el mismo Gatell reconoce, el servicio de salud en México adolece de graves deficiencias. De modo que tales consultorios entran al quite. Aquí,
