We hadn’t talked about the TV adaptation of the novel of the same name, ‘The Patients of Doctor García’, broadcast by TVE-1. Almudena Grandes. The action takes place at the beginning of the Civil War. In Burgos, Francoists are already campaigning for their respect. In Madrid, the Republicans are still resisting.
ambassador in london Pablo Azcarate When he sees the coldness of democracies in the face of his coup, he despairs. Francand sadly exclaims: “Fear of communism, democracies are abandoning the Republic, and meanwhile the Nazis and fascists are making Spain a room for maneuver”. A good summary of what happened and a good explanation of why those who took up arms won the war. At the heart of this series are two protagonists that audiences understand what’s going on: Dr. Guillermo (javier king), Republican and neighbor Francoist Amparo (Verónica Echegui). And an irrepressible passion rises between them, and they do not stop tongue-and-groove beautifully. I want to highlight a very interesting moment in my opinion, when Guillermo told Amparo that he was going to take him to the hospital for blood draws because there were always Republican soldiers coming in who were seriously injured and needed urgent blood transfusions. Cunning and sensual, she exclaims: “Ah! Guillermo, I’d rather you bite my blood like Dracula!”, but finally agrees to lie down on a gurney and have half a liter of blood drawn from him. Paradoxically an extraordinary scene: ‘facha’ blood to save Republic soldiers. Mariló Montero once said when presenting ‘Las mañanas de La 1’ that in any organ transplant it is very likely that part of the donor’s soul will also be transplanted. It was in October 2012. There was tremendous excitement.
Considering a transfusion as a transplant variant and following the hypothesis Marilo, we can come to disturbing conclusions. Will Guillermo’s republican patients become Francoists by taking Amparo’s blood? Let’s consider another more recent scenario: if oriol junqueras -God forbid- he had an accident, needed a blood transfusion, and Laura Borras donor, ERC diluted in Junts in a single identity? Ah! Speculation is tremendous. But the series is highly recommended.
