In Caracas, a city with a climate of 22 degrees all year round, capital of Venezuela, wherever you walk, a saint blesses it, so decided since he died in 1919, by Venezuelans, Dr. José Gregorio Hernández, the doctor of the poor, you can not ask for more. Then in 2021, considered blessed by the Vatican by the hand of the Holy Father Francis, pope of the Catholic Church, head of state and the eighth sovereign of the Vatican City. "I confess to you that I did not find a Venezuelan, here in the Vatican, in the square or in the private audience who, in the middle of the conversation, did not ask when was the beatification of José Gregorio".
All based on the investigation of the Vatican about the miracle that was granted, of a girl who after receiving a bullet from a shotgun at less than 3 meters from the head, considered mortal and with real medical attention 8 hours later, curiously on March 10, 2017 considered as the day of the doctor, after being operated with great reservations of her recovery, she gets up and today she is developing normally. The mother states that in her desperation before the operating room, she prays with her soul to Dr. José Gregorio Hernández and when she finishes praying she feels his hand on her shoulder telling her "everything is going to be fine". There this story begins, because Dr. Neurosurgeon Alexander Krinitzky who attends the girl, demanded as a requirement of the investigation that the tomography of the girl must appear before the operation, the same one did not appear after the detailed search, they gave everything for lost before the proceedings of the Vatican, Dr. Alexander, asks Jose Gregorio with much uncertainty to make the medical examination appear, and a few minutes later his wife tells him that the little ones of the house had obtained the CD with the tomography.
José Gregorio Hernández dedicated his life to heal the poor, from the Parish of La Pastora where he has a wonderful museum, I will show it to you later... He not only attended the most needy, he gave them medicine, some of his own production, together with his sister he was already considered a man of miracles in life. Always elegant but without fear of getting dirty, he also practiced medicine not as crumbs for the needy, on the contrary, always with the highest quality and discipline that he transferred to his students. When he was only 25 years old, he traveled to Europe in November 1889, he studied in the laboratories of Charles Robert Richet, professor of Experimental Physiology at the School of Medicine in Paris, studying Microbiology, Normal Histology, Pathology, Bacteriology, Embryology and Experimental Physiology, among others. He returns to Venezuela and creates the first clinical laboratories and fights with other notables the Spanish Flu, sufficiently understood by its comparison with Covid, as well as deadly diseases such as tuberculosis, dysentery, typhus, yellow fever, bubonic plague, bilharzia, visceral leishmaniasis, were frequent and sometimes endemic.
Fernando Bustamante, a young mechanic of 28 years of age, owner of one of the very few Essex cars in Caracas, ran over Dr. Hernandez at the corner of Amadores, La Pastora. Bustamante carried on his shoulders the weight of the loss of an exceptional Venezuelan.
Our saint José Gregorio Hernández, I could still see him walking with his hat in the corridors of hospitals, you can feel his hand on the forehead of his patients, a ghostly presence that heals us all. Then enters my discussion not all ghosts scare some we would like to see again, to heal our body and soul.
