Edgardo Gualberto Torterolo Prado was born in Montevideo on December 20, 1939 and died in that city, in the fullness of his professional practice, on July 31, 2003.
His parents were Pío Gualberto Torterolo and María Rosaura Prado. He was married to María Elena Minetti (1966) and their son Pablo Daniel was born a year later.
His vocation directed him towards medicine, entering the official School of Medicine in 1959. After working as an intern at the Ministry of Public Health (1964-69), he obtained his medical degree (1968).
He became a surgeon and in that specialty he developed two parallel careers: Medical School and Military Health Service.
