Dear Dr. Zwerling,
Thank you for your response to our feedback regarding ER’s portrayal
of Primary Pulmonary Hypertension. We also appreciate you keeping PHA
in mind when and if future opportunities to educate viewers about this
underdiagnosed illness arise again.
Because our information was originally directed to Mr. Joe Sachs and
Dr. Mark Morocco, I am once again enclosing some informational material
about PHA and PH for future reference. This includes PHA’s most
recent medical journal, written by members of our Scientific Leadership
Council, comprising the world’s most knowledgeable medical professionals
in the field of PH. I would be happy to put you in touch with one or
more of these doctors, who would be willing to work with you should
a future storyline include this illness.
Once again, thank you for your reply. Please keep my name on file
and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Rino Aldrighetti
Executive Director
