ABSTRACT

 

A hundred years after his birth his memory is perpetuated in the Institute he founded and which today bears his name and in the hearts of those who had the privilege of being his disciples. From the beginning, Asenjo imposed a system of work different from that taken in other hospitals. Full dedication to the specialty, full time in the service, that is from 8 am to 6 pm, All clearly stipulated activity, schedule of clinical meetings, surgical ward programming, neuropathology meetings, general visit on Fridays, clinical meeting on Saturdays , Etc., all recorded in a small manual called "Routines", which also stipulated what we now call protocols for the study of each particular neurological pathology. At one time the Institute became "one of the most active in the world" in the words of E.A.Walker.
