RUELAS-BARAJAS, Enrique; RODRIGUEZ-PEREZ, Martha E. y RODRIGUEZ DE ROMO, Ana C.. Great personalities of medicine. Great lessons. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2020, vol.156, n.5, pp.474-481. Epub 27-Mayo-2021. ISSN 2696-1288. https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.20000284.
The analysis of three characters corresponding to different spaces and times shows the close link between literature and the history of medicine. On one hand, Don Quixote of La Mancha, who reflects the thought of the last years of the Renaissance and that has been assimilated in contemporary Mexico. On the other hand, Doctors Miguel Francisco Jiménez and Rita Levi Montalcini who lived in the 19th and 20th centuries, respectively. Despite the years that separate these three personalities, many elements in common are observed that do not lose their validity: the value that is given to health, ethics, tenacity and experience to attain successful results. All three characters refer to the medicine of their time, their achievements and the promotion of humanism, always inherent to medicine.
