Letter to the Editor: Response to proposed Emergency Medical Service

Share

Dear sir/ma’am,
I found your recent article on the lack of emergency medical services in San Pedro both interesting and timely. I am retiring to San Pedro in the next several months along with friends of mine, and as fortune would have it we happen to be the trauma and emergency medical team for a hospital in Northern California. Although we are retiring from practice in the United States, we are by no means ready to stop practicing medicine. We would consider it a privilege to offer our services to the community of San Pedro and partner with the Polyclinic to provide around the clock emergency medical services. To this end, we would appreciate the community’s support in obtaining the appropriate medical licensing and work visas. Any parties interested in supporting our endeavors should feel free to contact me at [email protected]. I would appreciate it if you could include this email in your newspaper as a response to the aforementioned article. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Peter Barnett, MD
San Francisco, California
