Last 17 May we left that for over thirty years was chief surgeon of the medical team of the Plaza de Toros de Sevilla, Ramón Vila has died 80 years because of cardiovascular disease.
He joined the medical team, who ran his father Ramon Vila Arenas, in 1965, and since then his prestigious career ran parallel Galen as his fame as a "doctor of the bullfighters".
During his long career as head of medical services of La Real Maestranza he was instrumental in taking the very serious goring who suffered Pepe Luis Vargas (What a bad luck …), Franco Cardeño, and the Banderilleros Luis Mariscal and Jesus Marquez.
One of the episodes that will be remembered from the last race of Ramon Vila, It will be to the tragic goring Paquirri Pozoblanco (1984); matador and medical maintained excellent friendship, so that in 1978 Seville surgeon attended a few very serious goring suffered that year in Le Feria de Abril. Francisco Rivera aware of the seriousness of repeated goring: "Dr. Vila as calling".
On that occasion Ramon Vila could not arrive in time to work the miracle, and Barbate way to the hospital died of Cordoba by the infamous road.
There is a year that was safe forever in the memory of doctor, 1992, that year in the Plaza de Sevilla, two sad mishaps touched himself to Don Ramon, the deaths of subaltern Montoliú Manolo and Ramon Soto Vargas, with two horns that broke their hearts and Vila nothing I can do.
Ramon Vila left his position as chief surgeon to 2011, being in charge of it teammate Octavio Mulet (see article on this page on his retirement).
Despite leaving their professional activity, He maintained his penchant for Celebration, burladero attending from the doctors to the celebrations of the Real Maestranza. Similarly, taurine maintained a continuous activity, a few dates I could be with him at the awards Doctors Vila (celebrities take off), the medical team awarded every year.
Last week I had occasion to see in the delivery of Livestock and Gold Awards White (Cruzcampo Foundation), I saw him arrive accompanied by his wife, without the crutches he had in Rio Grande (Doctors Vila Awards), It would be the last public appearance of Don Ramon.
Professionally, He was president of the Spanish Society of Surgery Taurine; President of the International Medical Congress Sevilla (1982 and 1992); It has been part of the National Advisory Board Taurinos Affairs Council of Andalusia, and he chaired the Andalusian Foundation of Bullfighting.
prolific lecturer (Pain in bullfighting), author of the book "Surgery Taurine. Myth or Reality", and taurine component jury, This year you will miss in the "Oros Antique".
Rest in peace.
