VETERINARY MEDICINE AND ME (8) Berrios Patricio Etchegaray. My time at the University of Concepción
My time at the University of Concepción (1992-1999)
From Chillán visited many years ago to attend various conferences and meetings. I liked the parade, street market and the cherry blossoms. Places of tourist attraction. Chillan Campus was the veterinary school was also very beautiful, it was actually a park with trees tremendous. In that place was the guest house to stay, and academic campuses where classes did. Had a very good library, very professional librarians, and also sympathetic.
I must admit that what I liked was the train ride from San Bernardo to Chillán. Full of twists and delicious anecdotes. I always said the only good thing was the old train were the hostesses. I was so at that time. I
classes of Virology and Disease Viral from 1992 to 1999. At that time I learned some viral infectious. The courses were equal to those I have known in other universities, many students without a vocation and low academic ability. Most of them flojones simpaticones and a half ... I remember a course in which they had added a couple of hours for conference, which was unfortunately the course schedule after returning from a field trip. And students did not behave as closed in the middle of a presentation on prions and mad cow disease. Beyond that, as usual, were champions to claim the test questions. And the whiners to rise 3.9 to 4.0. Something out of Chillán, classes from 8:30 am only going a 10 little girls to take notes. The men were resting (Rest of the warrior ...). They were good for the drink, they say the cold. Then they invented something better for the cold-living in pairs ... Everyone knows where the shoe pinches. I remember a young man who criticized me for doing 3 hours followed by classes, a schedule that obviously I had placed the university. But the young man who criticized me, who was president of the center of veterinary students, never went to school ...
Another story was of a girl who got a 2.0 on a test and not repeat the note up and began to push for a third test which I refused. The student complained, and address school I requested in writing that he did a third test which I refused adcuciendo it was unfair to his teammates. The girl took a gamble and sent a letter complaining about this situation rectory. The chancellor sent me the PAPL of the complaint, and I had the displeasure and embarrassment of reading a poorly written letter as well in spelling and syntax, and with very weak arguments. Request which failed but gave me a hard time with my academic peers ... In these tests I realized something terrible, when comparing cell virus evidenced some students have no clear concept of cell ...
I took tests orally. Once I was wrong to put note and a poor girl did not know for 4 approved by my mistake. Obviously nobody told me at the time, but it was my mistake. Another tallit was a girl of good figure, and there was nothing better than trying to outline her curves strongly that I climbed the note, as I did not greet me again, worse still, I did great disdain when I looked.
I had an assistant that I still remember the "MIMI" Maria Eugenia Valdez, daughter of a doctor of Linares. I have fond memories of colleagues and Armando Manuel Quezada Islands. St. Mary's colleague was a good dean and director of Campus good.
those years gave the new building for guests who came to replace the antiquated and poorly taken place for guests. One day I found a terrible smell of shit and I complained to the authorities. The teachers had left a closed conduit. Again I noticed that the gas did not work, teachers now had bangs open the gas outlet conduit. Fortunately did not explode when you turn on the shower ... The third was more serious because the roofs be finished poorly water entered the small lounge area and broke the television, and to the emergency power sent me to sleep in a hotel in downtown Chillán. Curiously, the lady in charge of building the claimant branded me with a smile on the lips, thankfully ...
In March 1999, was printed the book "Immunoprophylaxis of Veterinary Medicine. Main Vaccines Used in Domestic Animals" authored by P. Berrios and J. López. I can only say that his execution was not without its problems ... Most
anecdotal
was the weekly trip he made to go to Chillan. Infant mice should lead to practical Virology, and as it was forbidden to talk with flight attendants to them was very appealing small infant mice. At that time I befriended the girls who were very friendly hostess. Best of the train. On a trip I was invited to go in the engine room, between Talca and Curico. Interestingly railroad had more anecdotes than own drivers ... fruits of my travels in 1948 and 1955 train etre. One day I gave them an Easter bread the staff of the convoy, was an extraordinarily delicious Easter bread that my mother made Ms Olpha. He was very grateful. The truth is that the sandwich had nothing to do with those sold commercially. And Easter bread won me a bet, and I went through the car of smokers, offering homemade Easter bread. Yes I did but in a low voice ... When traveling by train, studied, read, listened to classical music and talked and talked. I was short the trip, which lasted between 4 and 5 hours. Once I met internship with a partner of the Liceo de Talca. It was exciting, even sing the anthem of the internship. "I want to be the boarding school where life is better, where life is better. The door is a table lock and an inspector. The first and fifteen sheets to be changed. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays is to eat beans. .. This was the fixed part, the rest changed from year to year. All this is music of a German march.
best thing was to have met a woman farmer who was Trapa-Trapa and told me all the recurrent episode of FMD, with cows and execution of all ... It was very interesting to hear out loud what they thought the owners of healthy cows had to be killed for having been contact with sick cows.
remember a charming hostess in one of the vagaries of the train almost falls and says "I'm falling shells ..." One lady swore for saying that. The truth is that shells was the seller of newspapers and magazines in the train ... Shells with good sipping glasses of wine to avoid boredom, especially in the return trip. I said the "professional" San Bernardo "some even thought I was clueless ... railroad travel was a week for 7 years.
, 99 bored me so much traveling, and most of all to receive U de Conce that had the same tricks that the U de Chile. I will not go into details about it ... When finally called to supply the competition by virologist, in calling for a PhD and experience in teaching and research, no one came forward. Subsequently recommended it to a girl of the "U" that gave the pass to her husband who had made the argument in virology with Dr. Celedon in the "U". He was in charge of Virology and Viral Diseases with its thesis ... It seems that he has been more or less well ...
Occasionally, the very truth from time to time I meet former students of veterinary Chillán. The veterans have changed. Are working, married and with RESPA. I'm glad to see them now ...
