In 1956 he wrote to his mother before leaving to go and join the guerilla expedition to Cuba: “My path seems to be slowly but surely diverging from that of clinical medicine, but not so far that I have lost my nostalgia for hospitals. What I told you about the professorship in physiology was a lie, but not a big one. It was a lie because I never planned to accept it, but the offer was real and there was a strong possibility that they were going to give it to me, as I had an interview and everything. Anyway, that’s all history. Saint Carlos [Karl Marx] has made a new recruit.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe had started a book on the role of the doctor in Latin America, a work he fully intended to continue writing. It remained incomplete at the time of his death in Bolivia at the age of thirty-nine, just eleven years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eERNESTO GUEVARA DE LA SERNA\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Rosario, Argentina, on June 14, 1928. During his medical studies in Buenos Aires, he took a trip with his friend Alberto Granado on an old Norton motorcycle through all of Latin America, the basis for\u003ci\u003e The Motorcycle Diaries\u003c\/i\u003e. In 1954, he became involved in political activity in Guatemala and was an eyewitness to the overthrow of the elected government in a CIA-organized coup. In Mexico City, Che linked up with exiled Cuban revolutionaries and met Fidel Castro in 1955. He would go on to become a Rebel Army commander, a key leader of the new revolutionary government, and a central leader of what would become the Communist Party of Cuba.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eALEIDA GUEVARA MARCH, MD\u003c\/b\u003e, is a Cuban physician who is the eldest daughter of four children born to Ernesto \"Che\" Guevara and his second wife, Aleida March.
