Plot
[edit | edit source]Set in a hospital staffed by the most brilliant doctors in their field, the series follows the story of Gonzalo Olmedo, an idealist and dedicated internist. Gonzalo is appointed director of the hospital after the assassination of his predecessor. Upon assuming his position, he discovers the complexities of operating a hospital teeming with the deficiencies associated with bureaucracy and corruption at the top echelons of its prior administration. To carry out the transformation, Gonzalo recruits a group of leading professionals who heal the most complex cases and, at the same time, strive to heal the wounds of their personal lives.[10]
