CHARACTERS:

Dr. Javier Blanco

Healing with a smile. He is a methodical, calm and pragmatic doctor, specializing in oncology. Respected by all, they often come to him for a second opinion. Vitalist and always with a smile, he transmits confidence, although because of his specialty, he usually treats very serious cases and is so used to dealing with death, which has led him to relativize many aspects of life.

Dr. Natalia Romero

She is the most experienced doctor. Respected by all her colleagues, she is an internist, but she will be referred especially for trauma and orthopedic cases that come to the hospital. Natalia is brilliant, professional and decisive, but she prefers not to get emotionally involved with patients and is not very empathetic and bossy.

Dr. Diego Herranz

He is a physician who is passionate about his profession and his family. Married, with a four-year-old son and a second just a few months old, he would like to be able to spend more time with them. But work at the hospital does not understand schedules. Dr. Herranz sees all patients with neurological problems. He is a committed doctor, a lover of hospital rules and protocol, and not given to improvisation. For Diego, the most important thing is to save his patients' lives, regardless of the aggressiveness of the treatment.

Dr. Marina Rey

She is a doctor who was pushed into medicine by her own diabetes. The best record in her career. A privileged brain, but also enthusiastic, vital and optimistic. She loves personal contact with patients and is emotionally involved. Every day she is forced to take insulin and knows the risks that this disease can entail (stroke, glaucoma, diabetic foot ...). For this reason, she lives every moment with passion. She is an internist but will mainly attend obstetrics and pediatrics cases.

Clara Rivas

She is the nurse in charge of triage at the hospital. She makes the first assessment of the nurses arriving in the emergency room and assigns each of them their level of priority. For the doctors, she is more than a nurse: she is a point of reference. And they will not hesitate to ask her any questions during the examination.

Dr. Hamman Dacaret

He is the new doctor at the hospital. Spanish of North African descent, with a great sense of humor, he is approachable and friendly. He is a very good professional, but feels a little insecure as it is his first year. For that reason, he usually diagnoses many tests so as not to leave anything to chance. He treats his patients as he would like to be treated himself.
