Clinica Carrillo: Our goal, love of life


	In 1942 Dr. Enrique Diaz Montes, came to Mexicali, pursuing the idea to establish a new Clinic specially dedicated to the treatment of arthritis. The Arthritis diseases and mostly the Rheumatoid Arthritis and the Rheumatic Fever were stunning the population at that time.

Dr. Diaz Montes however was more dedicated to the treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoarthritis, hundreds of patients were seen by him with great success but always limited by the fact of destruction of the joints and not possible improvement to what the medical treatment could offer. It was until beginning of the 70's when Dr. Diaz Montes and his young nephew Dr. Luis Carrillo started to perform the surgery on great bone destruction joints. IT WAS THE DAWN of the new era, could say as it was the discovery of the antibiotics or the presence of the microorganism by Pasteur in the 19th century. They could offer the hips and knees implants to patients that had years confined to a wheel chair.

In 1974 when the youngest nephew Dr. Fernando Carrillo arrived to this clinic the development of the reconstruction of this type of surgery was broaded and other implants were also intensify such as hands, ankles and elbows. The Carrillos consider that this has been a great advance in the development of rehabilitation favoring those patients that were incapacitated partially or totally, turning them into a new and active life.

Just before Dr. Montes was retired this clinic was aboarded with many patients suffering asthma, emphysema and COPD. Because of that reason after thousands of patients treated with this diseases, this clinic has a lot of experience in the treatment of certain pulmonary diseases. Furthermore we would say some patients have reached a decent life expectancy and other ones have been able to return to his normal life or to their usual work which was very much limited because of the lack of air.

As you can see we feel very proud of the work initiated by Dr. Montes. We Dr. Luis Carrillo and Fernando Carrillo consider, because of that, and the constant effort of searching for always something new to offer to our patients we have contribuited to the rehabilitation of many people suffering this type of diseases . This is our great satisfaction and we will continue serving to the clientele as much as possible.

We provide a full continium care of Asthma, Arthritis and COPD patients including a comprehensive range of diagnostic test and treatment procedures.

PREVENTION OF COPD, WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW ?

The RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS infection is a marker for previous damage, not a cause of subsequent problems . There is a theory that those infections may be the cause of the COPD in certain children with polymorphism in pro-inflammatory genes , those cases may have had anatomical damage when children that cause an increase likelihood of later COPD, comparable with other cases of just polymorphism genes or antenatal factors.
