For endocrinologist Fernando Otmaro Belalcázar, the principles and values that parents instill at home are fundamental to achieving a life of well-being and success. Or, at least, it seems to be the secret for this Nariñense to be recognized today in the field of medicine, becoming something like “the celebrity doctor” for attending to the most outstanding actors, actresses and singers in the country.
Fernando Otmaro studied medicine in the city of Pasto, specializing in endocrinology and internal medicine and his academic record led him to study a master’s degree in sports nutrition and is regarding to start another in neuroendocrine tumors.
“Endocrinologists in the country are scarce, approximately 137,” says Belalcázar, who presents himself as a responsible, diligent person committed to teamwork, which allows him to develop and maintain excellent interpersonal relationships. “It is my constant to assume each job as a personal and professional challenge, which has constituted a guarantee for the achievement of the proposed goals and the direct path to recognition.”
His professional services are provided in Pereira, a city that welcomed him as one of his children, and among the testimonials for the quality of his work are those of Jessica Cediel, Carolina López, Juan Sebastián Quintero, Andy Rivera or Lina Tejeiro who expresses “My endocrinologist is my friend Otmaro Belalcázar, with whom he went through a process of more than a year, he is my doctor and I fully trust him.”
Of course, it has also served popular music singers, among them Luis Alberto Posada, and famous reggaeton singers like J Balvin, politicians and congressmen, and, of course, a wide audience from all over the country.
Regarding his experience, in a direct message to the new generations he says that “Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, one of the most prestigious doctors in the world, affirms that the cheapest medicine that cures any disease is called exercise, all people when exercise stimulate certain hormones that give happiness.
And, on the other hand, the only inheritance that parents can leave their children is called education.” Exercise and education, humanist slogan of ancient Greece, two premises of life to take into account.
In an age of media manipulation, false expectations and wild indoctrination, where only rights are spoken of, but never citizen responsibility, the achievements of this doctor are an evident testimony of what is achieved, if we abandon the naive creeds of “ everything is free and everything is easy”, in pursuit of constant education and conviction, an education that makes real change possible. The difference will always be our way of thinking.
