Abstract Objective: to present details about the medical assistance provided by Dr. Guillermo Fernandez Mascaro to Lieutenant General Antonio Maceo Grajales; publicize his relationship with the hero, as well as other aspects related to the doctor; and pay him a well-deserved tribute on the 60th anniversary of his death. Development: Born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, in 1870, he joined the Liberation Army on July 8, 1895, with the rank of commander. He was initially incorporated into the 3rd Brigade, 2nd Division, 1st Corps, which operated in the Cambute region, under the command of then-Colonel Higinio Velez; later he went to the Division Headquarters, subordinating himself to the then Brigadier General Agustin Cebreco. Mascaro attended Maceo’s digestive disorders and developed a true friendship with him. Conclusions: Dr. Mascaro was a Mambi doctor who stood out for his assistance to the digestive disorders of the Bronze Titan. The Maceo-Mascaro link went beyond the doctor-patient relationship to become a true friendship, which allowed the doctor to be an eyewitness of the moment, in August 1895, when the position of Lieutenant General was created for which Maceo was later nominated. The foundation of the Center for Smallpox Vaccination and the fulfillment of other missions allowed the doctor to climb promptly through the different military ranks, to end the Necessary War as Colonel and Chief of Health of the 1st Corps in the Second Division. Upon graduation, the doctor performed other non-care tasks that he satisfactorily completed.
