She would do so with great grace, playing it down, but her professionalism and sense of humour were reflected in the way she set up the delivery service and the paediatric unit. It was admirable how he made up for the lack of resources at that time with a spirit of sacrifice and a good dose of imagination and good humour", recalls María Ángeles Sánchez, former Director of Nursing at the Clínica.
