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.
