The SARS-CoV-2 virus infection that has us in the midst of a pandemic that changed the course of humanity, not only affected and consumed the lives of many patients, but also took care of destroying and taking the lives of those responsible for defending it: medical, nursing and health personnel in general. When we trained in medical school, we did so out of conviction and always thinking of protecting the health and lives of others, but we never did so thinking of sacrificing our own lives. This pandemic has shown us that, despite the great advances in medicine, the era of antibiotics, molecular biology, the ability to create life in the laboratory, the billions of dollars spent on medical technology and the immense amount of ink used to publish articles in medical science journals, we are still not prepared to face a new virus that is invisible to the human eye, but which has already killed more people than the two atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
