I’m a Doctor.
For 16 years now. Have a degree in emergency/trauma med. So not a pediatrician, but I’m equipped to take care of pediatrics. I called DHS today, to find out how I can volunteer at any of the shelters. I was told by James Groth- I was too qualified. Too qualified?

How can I be too qualified – to take care of the medical needs of anyone. I didn’t ask for money – I didn’t ask for transportation. I asked to volunteer my time. My supplies. I speak fluent Spanish.I was turned away, so who are the doctors working in the shelters?
I have no doubt in my mind, based on my conversation that these facilities do not have physicians there at all times – or even nurses. This breaks my heart.
I may have accepted “under qualified “ as I’m not a Pediatrician. But if you bring your infant, child or teen into the emergency room – I help them. I care for them. I treat them. I fix them. I treat them as my own. See, that’s why, @DHS won’t accept Physician Volunteers. Shame!
