As a young medical student in Argentina, I had been fascinated by Fidel Castro and his rebel combatants. I was talking to some colleagues at one end of a huge room when from the other end we heard people yelling: “Fidel, Fidel, Fidel!” It was obviously Castro himself who had come to say hello to the people attending the congress. You got a call from El Comandante and we couldn’t find you!” I left Havana later that day, seething with disappointment. Fidel Castro, who was particularly interested in the project, came to see us at our hotel, so we had then the conversation I had missed the first time around. We also talked about the general health situation in Cuba, and he gave us precise statistics about it.
