Robert Emlyn Havard fue médico, amigo de Tolkien y C. S. Lewis, y miembro de los Inklings, el círculo literario de Oxford donde se compartían ideas, historias y debates. Tolkien admiraba su manera humana de tratar a sus pacientes. Y sí, ¡también tenía un curioso apodo entre sus amigos: «el curandero inútil»! La historia de ese sobrenombre queda para otro video. @Dr Islas 🫀 #Tolkien #Inklings #CSDLewis #Literatura #medicina
