Una noche estando de guardia en el Hospital, llega la hija de un paciente que estaba siendo trasladado al Hospital en la Ambulancia, y me dice que a su Papá le dio algo, le dije entonces, todo lo que acudió a mi mente, sin conocerla ni a ella ni a su padre, le dije que era hipertenso conocido que no se tomaba las medicinas como se las habían indicado, y que después de una rabia que tuvo, hizo una hemorragia cerebral por una crisis hipertensiva, pero que lamentablemente la hemorragia había sido en la parte más baja del cerebro, en el tallo cerebral y que no podía ser operado para extraerle la sangre y detener la hemorragia, y que se preparara porque su padre se moría dentro de una semana. En ese momento entra el paciente, lo examino y presentaba un cuadro neurológico compatible con un Accidente cerebro-vascular, lo hospitalicé, llamé al Médico Internista para que le realizara las primeras indicaciones médicas, le pedí una Tomografía Axial Computarizada, y una interconsulta con el Neurocirujano. Al día siguiente se le realizó la Tomografía y lo evaluó el neurocirujano, la Tomografía revelaba la hemorragia donde yo la había descrito en la historia médica, y el neurocirujano les dijo a los familiares del paciente que no se podía intervenir, explicándole las razones. A la semana el paciente se murió. Eso se llama Precognición, el saber las cosas que van a suceder antes de que sucedan o antes de que puedan ser conocidas o demostradas.

One night being of guard in the Hospital, there comes the daughter of a patient who was being moved to the Hospital in the Ambulance, and she says to me that to his Dad gave something, I said to her then, quite what came to my mind, without meeting either she or to her father, I said to her that he was a hypertense acquaintance who was not taking the medicines as the doctors had indicated them to him, and that after an anger that he had, he did a cerebral hemorrhage for a hypertensive crisis, but that regrettably the hemorrhage had been in the lowest part of the brain, in the cerebral stem and that could not be produced to extract to him the blood and to stop the hemorrhage, and that will prepare herself because his father was dying in one week.
In this moment the patient go in, I examine him and he was presenting a neurological illness compatible with a cerebrovascular stroke, I hospitalized him, I called the Internist so that he realized the first medical indications, asked him for an Axial Computarized Tomographie, and for an interconsultation with the Neurosurgeon. On the following day the Scanner was realized and the neurosurgeon evaluated it, the Scanner was revealing the hemorrhage where I had described it in the medical history, and the neurosurgeon said to the relatives of the patient that it was not possible to intervene, explaining to him the reasons. A week the patient died. That is called a Precognition, knowing the things that are going to happen before they happen or before they could be known or demonstrated.
