(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 10, 2007 ) SAINT PETERSBURG, FL -- Being responsible for the treatment of 200,000 wandering, frightened, homeless people is an awesome task. Knowing that they live as close as the nearest tent to your own brings a pressing reality. Daniel Mountcastle is a doctor. Since graduating from Ohio State University’s College of Medicine in 1974, he has spent more than thirty years as a trauma care specialist performing those services in Florida, throughout the United States and the Middle East. But the test of caring for 200,000 Afghan refugees in a series of over-crowded, make-shift tent cities ranks as the ultimate experience in trauma care.In 1987, after high level positions at hospitals in Ohio, Michigan and Florida, Mouncastle joined the International Rescue Committee in Pakistan to help care for the blistering growth of refugees along the war-ravaged Afghan border. Supervising a staff of more than 250 health workers, Mountcastle understates the position as an “extremely challenging post.”Recently, Mouncastle returned to Florida with his wife and five children to continue his practice, public speaking, academic lectures and writing where he also found time to act as an advisor in the creation of the internet’s ground-breaking e-Medicine (www.emedicine.com), an on-line medical reference resource serving hospitals, universities and the military, world-wide.His daylight hours are spent at the Mountcastle Vein Center in Saint Petersburg, Florida where hemorrhoids, spider veins and varicose veins are his main concern. The doctor says the clinic’s recent acquisition of the Ultroid system (www.ultroid.com) for hemorrhoid treatment has become a welcome addition. “This process has made my life and the life of the patients I treat a whole lot easier,” Mouncastle says. “The non-surgical procedure is performed here in the clinic in 10-15 minutes without anesthesia or pain,” he notes. The doctor added, “I won’t be treating 200,000 refugees here, but those I do treat know they have the best care.” ### About Ultroid Technologies, Inc.:Ultroid Technologies, Inc.
