The geneticist Daniel Parisini, known on social media as "Gordo Dan," addressed the salary situation of healthcare professionals and compared the current reality with what he experienced during Alberto Fernández's government, when he worked as a resident at Hospital Garrahan.
"I'm not going to claim that we're living in Switzerland. You have to look at the whole picture and where we come from. Nobody told me about it, I lived it myself. I started and finished my residency during Alberto's government," Daniel said on Radio Rivadavia.

The specialist recalled that, at that time, his actual salary as a resident physician did not exceed 300 dollars per month, while today those same positions reach 1,000 dollars, an improvement he attributed to the economic stabilization process promoted by the current government.
He also highlighted a recent measure from the National Ministry of Health, which allows residents to voluntarily choose to receive their retirement contributions directly or maintain the state withholding, something he considered a step forward in the sector's labor flexibility.
Parisini also targeted critics of the current economic direction and recalled the inherited catastrophe: "Look at who the critics are: they're the ones who left 1,020% accumulated inflation in four years, 57% poverty, and 70% child poverty."
The physician and influencer, who gained notoriety for his direct analyses and straightforward tone on social media, emphasized that Kirchnerism destroyed the purchasing power of healthcare workers, and that only now is the sector beginning to see tangible recovery. However, he acknowledges that there is still a long way to go.

Gordo's statements reflect a widespread sentiment among professionals in the public system who suffered years of wage deterioration under the populist model of Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner, marked by uncontrolled money printing, record inflation, and the precariousness of public employment.
With inflation decreasing and a stable exchange rate, many physicians see a real improvement in their purchasing power, although Parisini clarifies that "there is still much to be done". However, his testimony serves as a contrast to the opposition narrative that tries to claim the current situation is the result of the libertarian model and not the consequences of the Kirchnerist plundering accumulated over more than a decade.
