The first thirty years of the 19th century meant for Mexico years of independence, of an armed struggle, and a strong political instability as well. In those days Mexican society faced personal concerns, and collective problems, and the Spanish Peninsular had to make decisions in the presence of the independence movement. Those who did not accept this movement and fought against it, decided, in some cases, to voluntarily leave their second homeland. Others expressed themselves in favor of one or another political stance and faced the banishment. That is the case of two Spanish physicians: one of them, after expressing himself openly in his writings against the insurrection, accepted that the movement was irreversible and that the only solution to his stance was abandoning Mexico voluntarily. The other was forced into exile due to his ideology. In this article we studied their parallel paths, and we were aware that their life trajectories, by definition, never intersected. They never run into each other during their Mexican stay, but they agreed in the support of their ideologies and in their contributions to medicine. The reader will find information on their personal and professional lives, in their Spain before they moved to Mexico, during their stay in this country, and then in their return to their homeland.
19世纪的头三十年对墨西哥来说意味着独立、武装斗争以及严重的政治动荡岁月。在那些日子里，墨西哥社会面临着个人问题和集体问题，而西班牙半岛人必须在独立运动面前做出决定。那些不接受这场运动并与之抗争的人，在某些情况下，决定自愿离开他们的第二故乡。其他人则表明支持某种政治立场并面临流放。两位西班牙医生就是这种情况：其中一位在其著作中公开表达了反对起义的观点后，承认这场运动不可逆转，而他这种立场的唯一解决办法就是自愿离开墨西哥。另一位则因其意识形态而被迫流亡。在本文中，我们研究了他们相似的经历，并且清楚他们的人生轨迹从定义上来说从未相交。他们在墨西哥期间从未碰面，但他们在支持自己的意识形态以及对医学的贡献方面是一致的。读者将了解到他们的个人生活和职业生涯，他们在前往墨西哥之前、在墨西哥逗留期间以及之后回到祖国时在西班牙的情况。
