In the framework of the International Museum Day (May 18), declared in 1977 by the International Council of Museums to make people aware of the relevance of these spaces as a means of cultural exchange, the Palace of the School of Medicine held a one-on-one between Jermán Argueta (oral narrator) and Francisco Hernández (theater director), who argued their perspective on what well-being and mental health is.
So, attendees were received in the Hall of Emeritus Professors; to start the duel Jerman Argueta took the floor and indicated that “when one talks about well-being and health, it has to do with the balance of the body and the spirit; In pre-Hispanic times, health was to cure an illness, but modern Medicine talks about caring for the body and soul, because only when one lives with the spirit can one be well cured”.
The participation of Jermán Argueta was challenging and moving for the attendees, who asked him to recite his story My grandparent’s housewhich narrates his childhood and the anecdotes he lived happily in the company of his grandparents, and which are now a sweet memory.

For his part, Francisco Hernández recalled the story of how in the year 1562 Luis and Martín Cortés, sons of Hernán Cortés, met at a party in the house of the Ávila brothers, where they did a play and performed the coronation of Martín Cortés as emperor of Mexico; everyone toasted saying “cheers” and celebrated with pleasure, fact that reached the ears of Emperor Charles V, who decided to cut off their heads, considering it a possible rebellion.
“Health for the Mexican people would be to know the history that protects the patrimony that we currently have.” external Francisco by pointing out that the historic center and museums are spaces that people love, and the fact of loving gives people well-being.
After a close duel, both opponents were in a fair tie, since they managed to transmit to the public great knowledge and reflections on what health and well-being isactivity coordinated by Dr. Mónica Espinosa, head of Promotion and Cultural Diffusion of the Palace.
