Local doctor under fire for Zimbabwe lion hunting trip, closes practice


UPDATED 6:03 PM EDT May 09, 2016


Pittsburgh, PA —For Sophia Facaros, losing her doctor of 24 years was difficult, but how she found out, she says, was far worse.



Many negative things have been said about a Murrysville doctor since allegations of illegal lion hunting were made earlier this week, but a local family says there's another side to the story of Dr. Jan Seski.

Dr. Jan Seski, a Westmoreland County gynecologist who hunted a lion in Zimbabwe, says he did nothing wrong and participated in a lawfully permitted hunt.

Dr. Jan Seski shot a lion with a bow and arrow near Hwange National Park, without approval and on land where it was not allowed, said Zimbabwe's National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority.

"Got the phone call last week: 'Dr. Seski has closed his practice.' 'OK so can I get in a little earlier?' 'No he's closed his practice, you have to find a doctor,'" said Facaros.

The news came nine months after Dr. Jan Seski was named in an investigation by officials in Zimbabwe for hunting and killing a lion there. Seski was never charged with a crime and has maintained his hunt was legal. For Facaros, his care here in Pittsburgh was essential

"I had cervical cancer," said Facaros. "I was only 38 years old at the time."

Facaros said she needs constant checkups with the oncologist gynecologist and a regular prescription.

"It's sustaining medicine that I take monthly," said Facaros

Facaros said since Seski gave her little notice, it took her four days to have another doctor fill her essential medicine. She said she got the call about the closing on April 26, then a letter sent to her through Federal Express on May 4. The letter is dated April 30 and reads that the office was closing that same day.

Facaros feels as if she and the other patients were abandoned. According to the state of Pennsylvania, abandonment occurs when a physician withdraws his services after a physician-patient relationship has been established and by failing to give notice to the patient of the physician's intention to withdraw in sufficient time to allow the patient to obtain necessary medical care.

An employee inside Seski's Oakland office confirmed that the office is closed, but would not answer any further questions regarding when he decided to close his practice or why.

Lovely!

He was forced to close by the stupid PC brigade, and this woman is blaming him??

Sounds typical of the bloody liberal!

What Saeed said +1

We can only hope the reason he closed his practice is to get in more hunting.

''we as a committee reason that more hunting required full on retirement''

love it, and yes, a high bar for the rest of us

so quit hanging at the back of the pack

Typical result to a situation when the "tolerant" liberals use violence and intimidation to punish those who don't believe in their dogma.

If there was any fairness in the US Justice system, the Dentist should be able to sue the protesters for loss of income and degradation of his business.

Make the protesters accountable for the results of their actions.

Words fail me!

Still, any of those "farms" near Hwange are going to be owned by dodgy politicos or their minions, the paperwork probably wasn't right, and I suppose he's lucky the "landowner" wasn't a SDN.
