Abrenuncio visits Sierva Maria and examines her bite and quickly realizes that the dog that bit her had rabies. When the Marquis asked Abrenuncio how he knew, Abrenuncio said, "He didn't tell me, senor. His heart did: he was like a frog in a cage." (). The quote refers to how he tells the truth, seeing things as they are. Abrenuncio gave advice to the father on what he can do to help his daughter. Even if it's not the most medical advice given, but spiritual. Abrenuncio gives the advice to "play music for her, fill the house with flowers, make the birds sing, take her to the sea to see the sunsets, give her everything that can make her happy... No medicine cures what happiness cannot cure" . ?" (). Abrenuncio then gives the recipe for happiness. Going back over the centuries, technological tools have made the doctor a technician rather than a doctor willing to offer a treatment or healing advice from the heart. This concerns Abrenuncio as a doctor and as human being because he offers what every human being can offer in its entirety, that is, love and happiness. Another statement that reveals Abrenuncio as a doctor and as a human being is: "The human body is not made to endure all the years that one can. live... Kill him... At least that's what we would do if we were good Christians" (). As a human being back in the centuries, why should one say?
