Rediscover The Patients of Doctor García

Based on the novel of the same name by the late Almudena Grandes, Los pacientes del doctor García transports us to Madrid in 1936, where Dr. Guillermo García Medina lives hidden under a false identity after Franco’s victory. The arrival of his friend Manuel Arroyo, a republican diplomat in exile with a secret mission, drags him into a dangerous web of espionage. Their objective: to infiltrate a network that helps Nazi war criminals escape, led by Clara Stauffer, a woman who represents the link between Francoism and Nazism.

The series combines the personal drama of its protagonists with an impeccable recreation of historical events. From the escape routes of Nazis to the medical advancement of mobile blood transfusions, the story reflects a dark and fascinating era of Spanish history.

Behind the character of Dr. García, there is also the figure of Norman Bethune, a Canadian doctor who revolutionized medicine during the Spanish Civil War. Bethune was a pioneer in the creation of mobile blood transfusion units, an innovation that saved countless lives on the front lines and changed medical care in wartime conflicts. To rescue his story and get a closer look at a history that did not go in vain, it is certainly worth taking a look.
