About Juan Daniel Prieto Cuadra

Daniel can be found at Virgen de la Victoria Hospital, where he specializes in hematopathology and autopsy. He dedicates a lot of time to helping students understand biopsies under the microscope and uses his considerable Twitter following to disseminate cases and prompt discussion. “If I could make one alteration to my field, it would be to change the perception surrounding clinical autopsies. Hospital mortality is a serious care quality problem, especially given the growing number of immunocompromised chronically ill patients. We are the last remaining hospital medical community there to explain the cause of death when all other explanations fail.”
