Author Bernardo Gutierrez, MD began practicing cardiology for nearly ten years, including a residency at Abood Shaio Hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, after graduating in the top five of his class from Javeriana University in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1972. He then immigrated to the United States in 1985, completing a residency in internal medicine at St. Luke’s Hospital, followed by a fellowship in geriatrics at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Saint Louis University in Missouri in 1991. For the next thirty years, Dr. Gutierrez practiced in the United States in a variety of settings, including teaching hospitals, individual practices, Veterans Affairs, occupational medicine, emergency departments, acute care, intensive care, specialized units, nursing homes, and hospice care. In his spare time, the author enjoys fishing, shooting, traveling, and spending time with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
“El objetivo principal de este libro es proporcionarles a los médicos una manera sencilla y fácil de usar el pronóstico, para poder personalizar la atención brindada a sus pacientes de acuerdo a sus fortalezas y debilidades específicas, determinadas por su edad y antecedentes médicos, en vez de tratarlos con protocolos estandarizados, creados por entidades regulatorias y la industria, y así evitar más dolor, costos y sufrimiento innecesarios,” writes Dr. Gutierrez. “Al hacerlo, los médicos pueden recuperar el control de la atención médica dada a los pacientes.
“Además, a través de la revisión de los diferentes aspectos científicos del proceso de pronóstico, el libro puede aclarar muchas de las creencias comunes que tiene nuestra sociedad con respecto al tiempo que los humanos pueden vivir, la imposibilidad de la inmortalidad, la incapacidad del sistema médico para curar todas las enfermedades y el hecho de que el resultado óptimo del envejecimiento perfecto es la muerte.”
