El doctor Fermín desprende calor humano. Mi caso no era grave y aún así me contó todo sobre este mismo.

Lamentable visita, no se limitó a hacer ninguna prueba el doctor, a pesar de que un diagnóstico parezca claro el Doctor debe asegurarse ya que los pacientes pueden tener más de una patología. La visita duró escasos 5 minutos. El peor dinero invertido en salud.
