The difficult experience of being patient or at least trying... The services of medical attention in the Hospital de las Mercedes and in the Public Assistance. Tucumán at the dawn of the 20th century

In this paper we analyze the possibilities and conditions of access to public health among the working classes in Tucuman during the 19th and 20th C. We take a tax system based approach of the socio-cultural history of sickness, through which we aim at disclosing the sick’s struggle for access to he...

Tucumán at the dawn of the 20th century La difícil experiencia de ser pacientes o al menos intentarlo... Los servicios de atención médica en el Hospital de las Mercedes y en la Asistencia Pública. Tucumán en los albores del siglo XX Gargiulo, María Cecilia enfermos salud pública médico demanda the sick public health physicians demand In this paper we analyze the possibilities and conditions of access to public health among the working classes in Tucuman during the 19th and 20th C. We take a tax system based approach of the socio-cultural history of sickness, through which we aim at disclosing the sick’s struggle for access to healthcare professionals, as well as their complaints and demands on poor treatments and deficient medical attention at public institutions. The focus is on the city’s main hospital (Padilla Hospital since 1912), where we analyze the problematic doctorpatient relationships, the serious building limitations and deficiencies, and how the low budget destined to clothes and nourishment made hospitalization a traumatic experience. We point out the role of the press as the channel through which these demands were passed, and which we deem a manifestation of the social status of the lower classes. En el presente artículo se analizan las posibilidades y condiciones de acceso a la salud pública de los sectores populares en Tucumán entre los siglos XIX y XX. Desde una perspectiva tributaria de la historia sociocultural de la enfermedad, nos proponemos poner de manifiesto la lucha de los enfermos por acceder a la atención médica profesional, así como sus denuncias y reclamos por malos tratamientos y deficientes condiciones de atención en los establecimientos y servicios públicos. Centrándonos en el principal hospital de la ciudad (Hospital Padilla desde 1912), se exponen las tensiones entre médicos y pacientes, se describen las limitaciones y deficiencias edilicias, así como los efectos de la escasez presupuestaria en la provisión de ropas y alimentos, todo lo cual contribuía a hacer de la internación una experiencia traumática. Rescatamos a la prensa como órgano de canalización de estas demandas que entendemos como manifestación de la agencia social de los de abajo. Centro de Estudios Históricos Profesor Carlos S. A.
