Pablo Martínez del Río
Pablo Martínez del Río (born January 25, 1809 in Panama , † September 27, 1882 in Mexico City ) was a Mexican doctor and ambassador .
Life
The wealthy Martínez del Río family immigrated from Panama to Mexico in the early 19th century. Pablo Martínez del Río was sent to England and France by his father to complete his medical studies.
Pablo Martínez del Río studied medicine at the University of Paris in 1834 and taught as a professor of obstetrics at the Escuela Nacional de Medicina in Mexico City until 1859 . He became an honorary member of the Academia de Medicina de México .
1848 treated Pablo Martínez del Río in Miraflores, near Tlalmanalco in the Estado de México in the Mexican-American War victims of a guerrilla attack near Tlolamnalco on North American troops under General Winfield Scott, including Lieutenant Schuyler Hamilton
When the state of Texas changed to the state territory of the USA, the Martinez del Río became latifundists in the USA, which resulted in a formal break in the feudal power system for this property. The conservative party of latifundists and clergy under Miguel Miramón fought in the Guerra de Reforma from December 17, 1857 to January 1, 1861 for their privileges. With the second French intervention in Mexico, the conservative party, which was defeated in the Guerra de Reforma, tried to instrumentalise Europe's imperial ambitions for their interests. Pablo Martínez del Río had evaded to Milan in 1864 when Maximilian I (Mexico) sent him as a special ambassador to Sultan Abdülaziz at the Sublime Porte . After the flight to Italy, the latifundia of the Martínez del Río continued to be cultivated by the rear residents, but no leases arrived in exile. The government of Benito Juárez in 1870 amnestied the latifundists of the Conservative Party and enforced their property rights. The conflict with the clergy, on the other hand, also survived the regime change from Porfiriat to the PRI, and the Catholic Church in Mexico was viewed as latently subversive.
Pablo Martínez del Río wrote numerous medical treatises including a first Mexican illustrated gynecology and practiced medical anesthesia for the first time in Mexico .
