| Spanish entry | Dr. Lanari |
Role
He receives the case, reads what the internee’s body and head show, and gives the first clinical name to an affliction far beyond any on-call diagnosis. He then reports the picture and refers the patient’s care to his colleague Buscaglia.
His part in the chronicle is brief, a signature at the foot of a report. He is the first authority to try, with the tools of medicine, to order what the flight diverted to the Malvinas returned broken to the city.
