CARACAS, Venezuela - With the austerity of a monk, a vocation to seek the good of others and a bright scientific mind, Jose Gregorio Hernández won the affection of those who called him âthe doctor of the poor.â He became a religious icon after his death in 1919, and since then millions of Venezuelans have fervently asked that he be universally worshipped.
