Hermenegildo D\u00e1vila, his main biographer and Amanuense, stands out in his Biographical studies on the citizen doctor ...<\/em>(1969), the character of the wise doctor:<\/p>\n

"His treatment is too frank, humorous and insinuating, being a prodigious repository of anecdotes and talents that he ingeniously and skillfully applies in appropriate circumstances. (...) Prudence is his character, goodness his guide, reflection his counselor, kindness his shield, philanthropy its theme, virtue its comfort, eagerness and work its mission and science and wisdom its hope \u201d(pp. 55-56).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
