guardias auxiliares

español al inglés Medicina Medicina (general)
This is actually a text about an Argentine artist:

Son varias las historias de sus guardias auxiliares en el Hospital de Clínicas, ese edificio monstruosamente moderno cuyos pasillos interminables están llenos de gente enferma y gente muerta. Pero de las formas que toma la responsabilidad, la que nos ocupa en este texto no tiene tanto que ver con la misericordia y el samaritanismo, sino con la posibilidad de ser responsable a través de la pintura.

Some sort of volunteer work performed at the hospital?

additional on-call shifts

This is my best guess. Like they say, just to get the ball rolling.

Was this person a nurse, a doctor, or something like that before he/she became an artist?
