LCDR Alfredo Ernesto Baker, M.D.
Assistant Group Surgeon,
Marine Air Group 24, MCBH
Kailua, Hawaii
"I use PEPID in a busy acute care clinic for the aviation active duty and non-flight status personnel," writes Dr. Baker. "We encounter not only every day medical cases such as pharyngitis, shoulder pain, etc. but also a wide variety of interesting cases such Type I diabetes, myasthenia gravis , etc."
"All patients were treated (following PEPID recommendations) which has resulted in excellent patient care delivery." Dr. Baker concludes that "In all clinical cases, PEPID has been an excellent source for methods of diagnosis, treatment, disposition, and follow up."
