is hungry they cannot give her any food before the operation. Bertha Gutierrez is only 42 years old; she is 1.75
mts, tall and exercises a lot. Last month, when she was running and before the race was over she fainted. It was
very hot that day. They took her to Alfredo VanGrisken hospital, where she was examined. Unfortunately she is in
critical state because she has a tumor lying on the brain. Dra.Mariangel is a brilliant surgeon and she expects
that the operation will be 2 O`clock.

R. .- “Es un día ocupado en el hospital Alfredo Van Grisken”

paciente; aunque Bertha tiene hambre, no pueden darle comida antes de la operación. Bertha Gutiérrez
tiene solo 42 años; ella mide 1.75 mts, es alta y hace mucho ejercicio. El mes pasado, cuando estaba
corriendo y antes de que terminara la carrera, se desmayó. Hacía mucho calor ese día. La llevaron al
hospital Alfredo Van Grisken, donde la examinaron. Lamentablemente, se encuentra en estado crítico
porque tiene un tumor en el cerebro. Dra. Mariangel es una cirujana brillante y espera que la operación sea
