Julio Camarillo is the local physician in El Triunfo. Though Noemí initially believes that Dr. Camarillo can properly diagnosis Catalina and get her out of High Place, she quickly learns that Dr. Camarillo is no knight in shining armor. His authority is limited to the town, outside the jurisdiction of Dr. Cummins. Though the Doyles are disdainful of Dr. Camarillo for his youth and ethnicity, he often serves as a calming presence for Noemí. Finally, unlike Dr. Cummins, Dr. Camarillo respects Marta and the remedies she creates as the village’s healer, showing that modern medicine and traditional herbal remedies can coexist.
