RESUMEN
Las reivindiciones profesionales y la reformas sanitarias que los médicos solicitaron el poder político a lo largo de la etapa constitucional del reinado de Alfonso XIII, fueron continuación de las del siglo XIX. Una de las demandas más importante fue que los médicos rurales dependieran directamente del Estado, especialmente en lo que se refiere a los salarios, y no de los poderes municipales detentados por lo general por caciques. Los problemas entre ambos eran constantes. En este trabajo se presenta el caso del médico del Pobo Alfrede Alegre, cuya condena puso en pie de guerra a los profesionales sanitarios, estudiantes y buena parte de la sociedad durante años que unieron a sus demandas de petición del idulto. Esta historia trágica, aparte de mostrar la importancia de la prensa diaria como fuente, pone de manifiesto las dificultades que ofrecía la práctica profesional en las zonas rurales sumidas en el pasado y la incapacidad de los políticos para resolver problemas durante una de las etapas más agitada de nuestra historia (AU)
