Few interviews are as fun as the one we do this week with the Saturated Nurse, Saturnina Gallardo, although in reality he is a character as we will see below. After the success of the first book Life is whey, the second installment arrives under the title The time between sutures. Without further ado, this is the interview.
Who is Saturnina Gallardo and who is Héctor Castiñeira?
Saturnina Gallardo is the character that I use many times to tell what Héctor would not tell.. What Héctor would not directly tell or would think about is told by Saturnina Gallardo.
Luis Piedrahita provides the prologue in this second installment, Is it because he was your patient or because the supervisor forced him to? (When you read the book you will know this wink)
He could have been patient because he is Galician too, Like me, we agree a lot, but not, no; The truth is that we have known each other for a long time and when I told him that I was doing the second book, he was the one who offered and I was delighted that he did the prologue that gives the book much more packaging and for me it is a reference in this matter of humor and I said to myself, enchanted.
If you are a flying nurse, over time do you develop a dark and ironic sense of humor and end up telling your life story in a couple of books??
Well, it is one of the options, I always say that Satu, through which I tell things, It has a bit of personal history and a bit of the rest of the nurses that I come across.; Yeah, you develop a sense of humor with which you survive in the hospital.
A bit drastic that if a premature baby has to be pricked, better look for two veins: one to break it and one to puncture it.
It sounds very harsh, yes it sounds very harsh. Of course, but it's really, at the end one, When you are going to puncture a premature baby, you always look for two veins because they are really very thin veins and the probability of them breaking is very high.; so, If you look for two veins, it punctures more calmly than if there is only one, which punctures with more pressure..
I read in your book that the human body is poorly organized, comes incomplete, apparently, Are you missing three-way keys??
It lacks three-way keys that one can turn at will and that one can decide when to do certain things or when to do others.. The three-way wrenches are very convenient for that., The problem is that the caps are lost., so in the human body the plugs would also be lost; I don't know if they are lost because now there is a trend to save plastic caps for everything., there is a relationship.
And physiologically, where would they be??
They would be replaced by sphincters, It is much more practical; besides, In case of deterioration of the sphincter, it would be replaced by braces and that's it.. There would be no problems with urine loss.
The guards are for a separate chapter, leo, maybe for the next book?
Maybe yes, because they are a hospitable group, a hospitable group that goes a long way.
Three things that are lost in the passage of time: the pens, Spoke steering wheels and three-way key caps.
And, and everyone lives in a parallel world as can be, For example, the world of hospital maintenance personnel, who also takes devices that don't work and never come back, Where do those devices that don't work go?? To the parallel world.
