VETERINARY AND I
I. - My studies veterinary medicine at U of Chile. 
5 years of medicine I veterinary medicine as such and 6 th year of animal production. Won two titles, one veterinarian, and the other a degree in Animal Science and Veterinary Medical. Textual. My time at the veterinary college, was not without personal and family problems. Not all overcome. Not all forgotten. The reports tell in post mortem to be published ...
Promotion of '57 had the honor of opening the new modern building which gradually replace the former School of Veterinary Medicine, located in the Quinta Normal. Initially shared the old clinics and wards of Anatomy and Pathology. This school was a few meters from Natural History Museum and the "bottle house, built entirely of glass bottles. There we held, from time to time their bottles of beer ...
With the new building, Dean HK Sievers, found nothing better than to increase the enrollment of some 30 students to 110, and inadvertently started the overpopulation of veterinary Chile ... Today, the "U" did nothing wrong to increase enrollment to 140, only to take away good students at veterinary schools in private universities. In any event he did more reasonable at the time Sievers. Normally
veterinary courses had 1 or 2 little girls. During our more than 10, most of them very smart and beautiful! I remember my classmates were very correct, though somewhat politicized, ahead of time!
At that time we left a lot to the outskirts of Santiago, north and south of the country to meet national agricultural environment. Even went to Buenos Aires to the livestock show in Palermo, Montevideo and known Uruguayan slaughterhouses and cold storage. All paid for by the university.
As the teachers had all, some old pioneers of the profession, which apparently never had the opportunity to graduate studies. Of good memories to Roberto B. Donoso, Hugo O. Díaz, Oscar Valenzuela O., Carlos Flores of F., Julio San Miguel, Isaiah V. Tagle Francesco di Castri, Hugo K. Sievers, the two Tapia (good and bad, depending on who opine), among others.
studies programs were pretty classic, pretty much like the French school and the school of human medicine. The courses were a year and could repeat all the classes, and only one in April. If not approved in April was repeated year by only one course.
tests were something serious, most oral remember in biology went wrong when Dr. Donovan did not accept me saying that my answers were good for the Reader's Digest. Anatomy (2 nd year) went wrong when Dr. Vedroni misunderstood me an answer, and was justified by saying it was inconceivable that anyone would think that the liver was below the diaphragm, which I did not say. And point by March. By contrast, in Pathology with Dr. Rodriguez (jerky), went well thanks to remember that garlic (Allium sativum) was hypotensive. The teacher told me I won by points, 4, and chao. In genetics, a branch bravo, I pulled a 6.2 in the third test with weight 3, but, as in previous tests had been more or less led me to review, I took the ball with a number of questions, answered all, confirming Note the 3 rd test and got a 5 which was a very good note on the genetics of Dr. Tapia. Finally, the last memory testing is the branch of Porcinotecnia, Berrios was the first in the list, and asked me about Dr. Haardt food of pigs, I knew nothing. March and was in 6th grade and almost finished with my thesis. Best that I was asked the teacher not to ask about food because we did not know, he did and went all well, given that the workers told me duck calls, I answered that the note was well placed because I knew nothing of porcinotecnia bouquet that I liked. In March I got a 5 and learned some of the pigs.
finished with an average of 4.8 that I stood in the upper third of the course!
I was fortunate to work on my thesis with Dr. Valenzuela of Pathophysiology and Dean of Veterinary Medicine. We investigated the action of antibiotics on the uptake of iodine and phosphorus in the liver and muscles of chicks. The chickens were donated by a poultry stock, and antibiotics for Pfizer. I worked all summer. And measuring the uptake of P32 and Y131 in the School of Medicine with Dr. Egaña. A success were the results. And note: two 7 and 5, Dr. of 5 argued that he had not been consulted on the methodology used, and left the 5 ... It seems there was some professional jealousy with my teacher in charge ... The review
grade, I was lucky and not lucky enough to have my commitment to the dean Dr Ramón Rodríguez Toro, aftosólogo virologist who showed me that he knew of virus But that was not my fault because school was not taught virology, and therefore had to hire people who specialize in that area. Eventually one of them was going to be me ...
I left for the final in 1959. The storming of the school, clear the building. We had problems with Dean Sievers, outdated by the teachers. Following discussions it was decided vain it best taken school to get attention. And so, with reporters and everything. I went on the cover of the magazine Ercilla. Moments earlier he had jumped the fence of the school and had fallen like a sack of potatoes on the other side, and to my dismay recently we realized that the door was open ...
For this and other reasons like my course was known as "course union "...
This was the first university in the country takes. Later became a habit, until today ... It was the Dean Sievers, left many teachers and our school changed dramatically improved in many aspects, but since then it tremendously politicized.
The next step for the University was as a professor of Microbiology and Immunology.
But just before serving as veterinarian rcibirme untitled ...
II .- Chief Veterinary Group in Chiloé 1963. Social Outreach Department of the date. This was my first activity as a veterinarian.
Shortly before receiving veterinarian, I was invited to participate in a conference date extension in Chiloé. By chance, I was in charge of veterinary group, and interdisciplinary group of Llau-Callao, a small town close to Castro. That February 1963 was an interesting time for me. Learned much of Chiloé and its people, and especially the character, aspirations and differing views of university students from other faculties.
In 1962 the Social Outreach Department today under the slogan "Your profession has a social meaning. Project it" organized a summer job in Chiloé, in the towns of Chacao, Dalcahue Achao Chonchi Llau-Llao. Date Policy was: Fernando Tagle Y. President, Hernan Pozo M. Treasurer, M. Edith D. Latorre Secretary, and Jose Miguel Insulza S. Vocal Date.
On January 30, 1963 we set off from Santiago. We went by train to Puerto Montt in two cars provided by EFE. My grandmother went to leave and still I see half sad, the truth is that months later he died of liver cancer. To say that the journey we had fun. In Puerto Montt stayed in the regiment to which I was accustomed to in our travels we carried out by the veterinary school. From Puerto Montt Ancud travel to Trinidad in the steam. In the boat moving well, many of my university classmates were seasick, perhaps out of habit of walking on the sea ...
From Ancud Llau-llao went by truck. In Llau-llao stayed at the premises of a former public school. The schoolhouse was opposite the cemetery, typical of the South with the burials surrounded by wooden fences. Throughout the month sleep on the ground, I did in my sleeping bag, and we all get used quickly. I even remember when I went back to Santiago could not get used to sleeping on soft ...
Llau-group consisted llao: Celia Alvarez and Alberto Minoletti of Medicine, Nelly Tapia and Rosa Nursing Hermosilla, Rebeca Montenegro Home Education, Social Service Nelly Barra, Eduardo Chavez of Agronomy, Cristobal Kay Economy , Silvia Martínez Gustavo Quintana of Teaching and Physical Education. I was a graduate of Veterinary Medicine, perhaps the greatest of all. An American was Eugene Johnson added Peace Corps.
Other veterinary students were Chiloé: Heriberto Olave L., Gerardo Nunez, John Burrows, and Emilio was Spiñeira Ancud.
DATE provided us with E ° 120, shields at the time. as recorded in my notebook of expenses, the first investment we made was to buy a chuico in E ° 1 on 3 February 1963. Then we bought chickens, eggs and chicha ... Mid-month we gave a supplement of E 70. In my accountability indicating a cost of E ° 182.50, returned E ° 7.5.
Teamwork was ordered under the following concepts: integration
Racing Form
Fieldwork
Community Life Critical Analysis teamwork and group life
community attitude towards work done, and against the team of college students
local initiatives to urge order were:
Clean Water Well Get
latrines filling Assist Tax Return for Agricultural Property Get phone
Llau-llao
Conveying your interest in forming a dairy cooperative based on the existing agricultural cooperative
Create a bulletin board to inform the press and radio of Castro on the activities of town, in a systematic
The Pfizer through Dr. César Martínez has given us a large quantity of medicines that were used and other gifts to farmers in the area.
While in Llau-llao farmers attended the following: Alfredo Hernandez 60 blocks with pigs and cattle, and sheep scab. The 8 cows that had produced 5 liters per head. Luis Borquez Diaz small landowner who had a camionetita. He brought his players, speckled black, from Osorno. FMD did not suffer from blocking the entrance and exit of tenants in your property. Castro sent his milk every day. I had apple trees and cherry trees with canker chape ... Olegario Gallardo with 2 cows and 25 sheep with mange. José del Carmen Kaman with 16 birds have mixed Ha Leghorn chickens and fewer eggs chilotas that Prodeco but are resistant to the harsh climate. Francisco Segura had ducks, turkeys, geese and chickens. He managed to sell the pigs before swine! Carmen Dolores Perez Vera had sheep and used the Cu SO4 for lameness. Virginia Pérez Vera with a model farm, bees and pigs. Auristela Diaz with 23 sheep for subsistence, the wool blankets and mattresses, and meat for domestic consumption. Teresa Perez Barria with thrips chickens treated with DDT without good results. I only mention these farmers to indicate that I worked as a veterinarian Llau-Callao.
A funny thing, a couple of colleagues to whom we called the usufrunas spoke a foreign language when they wanted us enterásemos of his stories, for it replaced the vowels, the "a" auf, "e" by Elder, the "i" ixi, the "or" Older and "u" for usufrun. They spoke quite fast in this strange language that was not such. Try and see that you can ...
On 14 February we had a general meeting in Ancud I had to say about what we had done. I remember I talked and talked, and did not know how to finish. How terrible. The Center for the Dissemination of the "U" I recorded in full, and one day, years later in Santiago, I saw on television. How I long to see me now ...
practically my report to concerned: According to initial plan included a series of livestock and health aspects of Chiloé own as a mobile but no locomotion, through direct work with small and medium farmers even without the help of the only veterinarian who worked in Chiloé.
To form a general view of the problems chilotes investigated the number of animals from each farm, nutrition, methods of selection and management or breeding. The use and marketing of livestock products in the area indicated a subsistence economy, with a slaughter of animals lacking any sanitary control. The health aspect studied indicated that the main problems were swine, for lack of vaccines, the sheep scab known by them to travel to sheep ranches in Argentina.
Regarding agricultural organization detect the absence of organization which was due to the backwardness of agriculture in Chile and the Americas. The lack of skilled professionals and social sense and knowledge of the area. The lack of farmers' response to attempts to group due to excessive politicization. The lack of material resources of the big state schools. All of this magnified the work of the Institute of Rural Education. I drew applause emphasize the awareness of farmers to enter the line of progress. Enes
time it was possible to work together and once with a real professional division that was part of the veterinary health and animal and agricultural production at the plant in this case vegetables.
conclude by recalling that we wanted to cure chilotes huasos the farewell barbecue, and did so with some little girls in Santiago. I did what I learned in school trips, leaving the wine glass on the floor, and throw it with his foot. So I'm not cured. And gave me the luxury of challenging the mayor to do that with inexperienced little girls! We returned from
Llau-Llao Ancud in a landing craft operating in the area, and from there to Puerto Montt in the Trinity, through Calbuco was still an island, and by train to Santiago to get home on February 28 at 10:30 am ... Then we would meet at the home of Celia Alvarado. Once I went for a walk with Silvia Martinez ... and nothing happened. I once saw on TV Dr. Alberto Minoletti with a high post in the Ministry of Health. In USA, Davis, who was with Eduardo Chavez did his doctorate, but never to return to Chile ... Of those people have only heard of Jose Miguel Insulza was a member of the date of that then ... Now is the President of the OAS! Still I have a telegram sent me to Llau-Callao!
The '64 was already working on disease and did not give me permission to travel to Chiloé and in that trip that the focus of veterinarians was just FMD. In fact for me was a parasitologist school ...!!!
Of that group I've only heard of José Miguel Insulza S. The rest seems to be the wind carried ...
