¡Adelante!: Memorias de un director de hospital

Synopsis of ¡Adelante!: Memorias de un director de hospital

These memoirs recount a unique experience in the recent history of Spain: the management of a large hospital in Madrid. The author, Esteban García-Albea, narrates the years when values prevailed over economic interests, offering a human and professional testimony on hospital management, medical advances such as the first liver transplant, and the fight against smoking. The work also serves as a reflection of a part of Madrid in the process of transformation and emancipation, contrasting the humanistic vision of medicine with the arrival of hospital managers who shifted the focus toward a more rigid economic approach.
