Medicine in Franco da Rocha
A memory of a professional stint in Franco da Rocha and of a case that marked Pedro.
Franco da Rocha, in Greater São Paulo, is known for the old Juquery Hospital. Pedro worked there for a time, and this 2007 text keeps the memory of that period and of a case that marked him.
The article is one of the reminiscences he published in his last years, when he began writing about his own path. Together with "Reminiscences of a doctor's life" and the text on Osasco, it maps his work outside Campo Limpo.
The case itself will be transcribed when the clipping is digitised. What the summary preserves is the constant in all his writing: a clinical episode told to speak of people.
This article is part of the historical archive of Pedro Moretti Guedes. It should be read as a document of its time: Medicine, pharmacology and health recommendations have changed since publication.
The original clipping is preserved by the family and will be published here once the scan can be checked against the original.
