Resumen
En las décadas finales del siglo XIX la medicina de la ciudad de Buenos Aires sufrió rápidas transformaciones, no solamente en lo relativo a los artefactos terapéuticos disponibles o la renovación de sus conocimientos científicos, sino también en lo referido a su composición interna y a su inscripción en una creciente lógica mercantil. Así, la masiva llegada de diplomados extranjeros y la consolidación de un circuito comercial de productos y servicios médicos, fueron dos de los factores que más significación tuvieron en ese momento de cambio. En este artículo se exploran esos elementos en base a un estudio de caso. Se examinan las labores realizadas en la ciudad entre 1889 y 1895 por un médico de origen español, que fundó institutos privados, editó publicaciones periódicas y mantuvo una relación conflictiva con sus colegas argentinos. El análisis de una variada documentación referida a aquel doctor foráneo permite echar luz sobre aspectos hasta ahora poco descritos del mundo de la salud rioplatense.

The work carried out in the city between 1889 and 1895 by a spanish doctor, who opened private institutes, edited periodicals and maintained a conflictive relationship with his Argentine colleagues, is examined. The analysis of a varied documentation concerning that foreign doctor allows to shed light on aspects so far little described in the world of health in the River Plate region.
