Tamara Contreras del Pino
Tamara Contreras del Pino (Los Palacios, Sevilla, 1982) is a specialist in Intensive Care Medicine, established for over a decade in Menorca
A teacher and attending physician, she gained clinical and management experience during the pandemic, which fueled her growing commitment to occupational health in the Spanish healthcare system
In May 2025, she published La vida intensiva (Caligrama Publishing), a book that combines professional testimony with deep reflections on the dehumanization of care and the extreme working conditions of those working in ICU
With a direct, colloquial, and ironic style, the work intersperses intense clinical anecdotes with structural and philosophical criticisms of the healthcare system, also proposing a closer view of what happens behind the ICU doors
Contreras leads the movement "We can't take it anymore", an initiative that gathered more than 180,000 signatures to demand an end to 24-hour medical shifts in Spain
Through the book and her activism, she argues that this pressure not only affects the physical and mental health of the staff but also impacts the quality of patient care
With La vida intensiva, Tamara Contreras del Pino offers a mix of social denunciation, medical introspection, and committed dissemination, seeking to humanize medical work and catalyze real changes in health policies
