H o Doctor's Day I want to dedicate this post to all the doctors in my country ... and pay tribute to the noble mission they have made in choosing this profession ... The following is a string that you sent me and which highlights the life of a great man, who may know very little ...
Humberto Fernandez Moran - Year 1999. Venezuelan girl in a classroom of a University in Boston: When in Boston, a teacher told him if he knew who was Dr. Humberto Fernández Morán. If he knew anything he was the founder of the Neurosciences Research Program at MIT and unfortunately, like most of us Venezuelans, she was not aware of its existence.
few days ago, was involved in one of our, now traditional, rush hour queues Venezuelan and suddenly struck me that a FM commented that Dr. Humberto Fernández Morán had died in Stockholm and his family could bring his remains to Venezuela, including this being his last wish.
I was responsible for researching this character unknown to me, and the results were amazing ... but I felt incredibly sorry for not having known the life of perhaps the most illustrious and prominent man in the world that has been Latin America! and we Venezuelans.
HUMBERTO FERNANDEZ MORAN: He was born in Maracaibo in 1924. At age 21 he graduated Summa Cum Laude medical and extend their knowledge in the area of \u200b\u200belectron microscopy, physics, specializing in neurology and neuropathology in the United States. He was the founder of the IVIC and creator of the Chair of Biophysics at the UCV. He was Minister in the government of General Marcos Perez Jimenez and the arrival of democracy is expelled from the country.
'invented the diamond knife', used worldwide for both ultrathin sections of biological tissues up to the lunar samples brought to Earth by astronauts.
also invented the ultramicrotome for cutting thin tissue thus becoming the first Venezuelan and only Latin American to receive the John Scott Medal in Philadelphia. He was also principal investigator of NASA's Apollo Project. Professor at the most prestigious universities such as Harvard, Chicago, MIT, George Washington and Stockholm University.
The United States proposes to be nominated for the Nobel Prize, which he refuses to be nominated because he had to also accept American citizenship, which was denied because of his pride to be Venezuelan.
was awarded the highest decorations! are: Order and knighthood conferred Polar Star by the King of Sweden. Claude Bernard Medal, the University of Montreal. Physician of the Year Award given in Cambridge. He was awarded special recognition by NASA to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Apollo Program.
You see, Dr. Fernández Morán no recognition in his country Venezuela.
It should be remembered and equally outrageous that Dr. Fernandez donated one of its most precious asset, its library, notes, studies, etc, the University of Zulia and if you still have not taken the necessary corrective measures should keep in boxes, in a moldy tank serving as food for fungi and bacteria. Ignorance is general and regionalism Zulia as we apply it only to appreciate and mandoc tumbarrancho arepas!
Dr. Humberto Fernández Morán was cremated and his ashes rest today in his second homeland, Stockholm, Sweden.
Hope as Venezuelans feel the same shame and awe that I'm feeling. I never thought that my curiosity about the life of this great man was also to discover the Venezuelan more honorable, honest and pointed out that we had in this century.
Please forward this information as never too late so that together we can get Dr. HUMBERTO FERNANDEZ MORAN, you recognize the place of honor that is worthy to be won in our contemporary history.
Hopefully some of you regular readers of this infinite network, to forward this to various media, so that without getting into unnecessary politicking, we can get this message radiate positively.
Cheer up, join this crusade and Pride will be yours to be helpful.
