[Tribute to Dr. Manuel Carpio on the CL anniversary of his death].
This year marks de CL anniversary of de death of Dr. Don Manuel Carpio (1791-1860), native Cosamaloapan, Veracruz, Mexico. The spirit that is researched and practiced medicine in Mexico would not be so gifted with humanism, without the contributions of mister Carpio, doctor who devotes his life to academia and research, putting aside traditional medicine, to take the decisive step to anatomic-pathological medicine. This paper aims to capture the character of Dr. Carpio, forged in an emerging Mexico, where medicine just left behind atavistic traditions.
