| The PELI website is almost the same as before. |
Due to the controversy over another
company with a similar name, Pacific Eye & Laser Institute has changed its name, but will still retain the PELI acronym. National Geographic says that peregrines are
falcons that swoop on other birds and bats in mid-flight. So I guess PELI wants to say that their ophthalmologists have great hand-eye coordination, or that PELI aims to make the patients' eyes so sharp they'll have great claw-eye coordination.
Last year, over breakfast with
Drs. Harvey and Pik Sha Uy, I had asked Harvey what makes PELI different. He says that their doctors are US-trained. I asked him where Johns Hopkins is. He said that it was Maryland. Is it in the East Coast? I aksed him. Since he trained in Harvard, and Dr. Franz Cruz trained in Johns Hopkins, I suggested that their name be changed to ECEC or East Coast Eye Center. Pronounced ek-ek, if you like. :)

Incidentally, Thesaurus.com says that peregrination is a
synonym of aimless walk. Which makes it somewhat opposite of peregrine the falcon. Just thought that was interesting.

The friend who took the photo asked me to include here that St. Peregrine Laziosi is the cancer patron saint. |
