Hay heridas que ningún hospital puede curar y lugares donde la medicina deja de ser una profesión para convertirse en una forma de resistencia. La historia del médico español que protagonizó el pódcast Vivir y morir en Gaza, dirigido por Almudena Ariza. Decido ir a quirófano. El ascensor no funciona, asà que me dirijo a las escaleras. Antes de subirlas, corrijo el rumbo y salgo un momento porque noto que voy a llorar y no quiero que nadie me vea. Sentado en una escalinata, me cubro la cara con las manos y lo hago lo más silenciosamente que puedo, porque a mi lado hay familiares y desplazados. Aquella noche se me congelaron casi todas las emociones. En los cuatro meses siguientes no volvà a llorar. De no haber sido asÃ, no habrÃa podido seguir trabajando. Ojalá curar fuera más fácil es el testimonio de un médico que decide ejercer allà donde casi todo falta. De Perú a Senegal y de Valencia a Yemen, la trayectoria humanitaria del doctor Raúl Incertis comienza a los dieciocho años, en un modesto hospital de Cuzco, y lo conduce hasta Gaza, donde le sorprende el fatÃdico 7 de octubre de 2023. Meses después de ser evacuado de la Franja, regresa como voluntario para enfrentarse de nuevo al horror, pero también para descubrir la humanidad y la extraordinaria fortaleza de sus compañeros de profesión gazatÃes. A lo largo de estas páginas que recorren algunos de los rincones más castigados del planeta, Incertis presencia el sufrimiento de quienes se aferran a la vida sin renunciar a su dignidad al tiempo que libra sus propias batallas interiores. Un relato escrito a corazón abierto que habla sobre el impulso de entregarse a otros, de pagar el precio de convivir a diario con la muerte y de la capacidad del ser humano para salir adelante incluso en las circunstancias más extremas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION There are wounds no hospital can heal and places where medicine ceases to be a profession and becomes a form of resistance. The story of the Spanish doctor who starred in the podcast Living and Dying in Gaza, directed by Almudena Ariza. I decide to go to the operating room. The elevator isn't working, so I head for the stairs. Before climbing them, I change course and step outside for a moment because I feel like I'm about to cry and don't want anyone to see me. Sitting on a flight of steps, I cover my face with my hands and cry as quietly as I can, because there are family members and displaced people beside me.
That night, almost all my emotions froze. In the four months that followed, I didn't cry again. If I had, I wouldn't have been able to keep working. If Only Healing Were Easier is the testimony of a doctor who decides to practice where almost everything is lacking. From Peru to Senegal and from Valencia to Yemen, Dr. Raúl Incertis' humanitarian journey began at age eighteen in a modest hospital in Cuzco and led him all the way to Gaza, where he was caught off guard on that fateful October 7, 2023. Months after being evacuated from the Strip, he returns as a volunteer to face the horror once again, but also to discover the humanity and extraordinary resilience of his Gazan colleagues. Throughout these pages, which take readers to some of the most ravaged corners of the planet, Incertis witnesses the suffering of those who cling to life without surrendering their dignity, all while waging his own inner battles. A candid account that explores the urge to devote oneself to others, the price of living with death on a daily basis, and the human capacity to persevere even under the most extreme circumstances.
