Yes my friend, Florence was my first inspiration. In my family there is no one in the health sector. I started at 15 to study nursing. I graduated at 17-18 years old. After 6 years of working as a nurse, I went to study medicine in Merida. While I was studying medicine I worked as a nurse and that's how I kept up my studies. I have been a doctor for 29 years now. More than 15 years as a medical sonographer, working in popular sectors.
A small biography of presentation.

Thank you for introducing me to your sister. Every May 12 my colleagues and I send each other congratulatory messages. I am very proud to be a nurse.

When I was a resident doctor I worked in Casanay, I served in the hospital there. I stayed there for almost 2 years. The last earthquake hit me. Perhaps your sister attended many of the patients I referred to the hospital in Carúpano.

I look forward to your participation and will gladly read what you have sent me.


Si amiga, Florence fue mi primera inspiración. En mi familia no hay nadie en el sector salud. Comencé a los 15 a estudiar enfermería. Me gradué a los 17-18 años. Después de 6 años corridos de trabajar como enfermera, me fui a estudiar medicina a Mérida. Mientras estudiaba medicina trabajaba como enfermera y así me mantuve mis estudios. Ya tengo 29 años de ser médico. Más de 15 años como médico ecografista, trabajando en sectores populares.

Gracias por presentarme a tu hermana. Cada 12 de mayo mis colegas y yo nos enviamos mensajes de felicitaciones. Es para mi un gran orgullo ser enfermera.

Cuando fui médico residente trabajé en Casanay, presté mi servicio en el hospital de allá. Me estuve casi 2 años. Me corrió el último movimiento sísmico. Quizás su hermana atendió a muchos de los pacientes que referí al hospital de Carúpano.

Espero su participación y con gusto leeré lo que me ha enviado.

With us you can not study at that age. First primary school, next secondary school 4,5 or 6 years after that you start a study.

This happened more than 40 years ago, now education in my country has changed. You no longer study to become a nursing technician when you are 15 years old. Now you have to have 5 years of studies in basic education, in addition to 6 years of primary education. Then go through 3 years of university. In other words, you have to complete 11 years of studies before going to university. Now it is like this the professionalization to become a nurse.

Sounds like a wise decision. I know I never knew what I wanted to be for the rest of my life. In a way children still have to around the age of 12 (I was 11, an early student). I also believe that age, life experiences is needed to develop the caring aspect and love for others if you work in a caring sector.

I think something or someone must have inspired you to want to be a writer. That today you have the experience you have in writing and telling all those stories that only you know how to tell, must have had a starting point.

I continue to wish you much success.

I'm no writer and no reader. I can't remember I ever read a book.

Entonces eres una profesional d ela salud que fue creciendo en el ámbito académico y laboral. Te felicito por ello. Si antes te admiraba, ahora aún más.

So you're a healthcare professional who's grown both academically and professionally. I congratulate you for that. If I admired you before, I admire you even more now.

Eres muy amable. En esos tiempos muchas compañeras enfermeras pudieron seguir estudiando. Hoy tengo muchas de mis colegas enfermeras de esos tiempos, que son abogadas, odontólogos, educadoras, y no recuerdo más.
Gracias por tus palabras. Dios te bendiga junto a tu familia. A tu sobrina que siga adelante. La educación en enfermería además que enseña a como manejar situaciones críticas de salud, da mucha más enseñanza de vida de la que yo jamás me imaginé.

Ciertamente, es una profesión muy hermosa.

It is certainly a very beautiful profession.
