Vazeny pane profesore,
obracim se na Vas v nouzi nejvyS8f a omlouvdm se predem za
smutny t�n tohoto dopisu, Vypl�vd ze situace, ve kter� jsem se ocitl
zde, v Mexiku a z pocitu odpov�rl�sti za osud sv� zeny, l�tilet�
dcerky a l2tilet�ho syna, kteri jsou zde se mnou. Jsem asistent
prof.Dr.E.Polaka z Prahy, se kterym jste se seSel na podzim ve Washing-
tonu. Kratce po tragickYch uddlostech wu nds v srpnu minul�ho roku
jsem byl pozvan Na�rodnim Kardiologickym Ustavem v Mexico-City pfred-
n�set a v�decky pracovat v oboru c�vni chirurgie. Prijal jsem toto
pozvani, ziskzal oficielnf povolen{ k pobytu v zahani�{f i mexick�
visum a odjel do Mexika i s rodinou. Cestu jsem si hradil sdm a pou-
Zil k tomu vSech devisovych prostfredki, kter� jsem m�l. Po prijezdu
do Mexika jsem vSak zjistil, ze doSlo ke zgm�ndm ve vedeni tstavu
a ze o moji Ginnost na Ustav� nen{ zdjem, protozZe je saturovan vlast-
nimi odborniky. Rovn�Z nenf moZn�, abych uzavtel pr&covni smlouvu s
jinym Ustavem, nebo se soukromou nemoenicf, i kay% vSechny m� odborn�
i v�deck� diplomy byly r�dn� legalizovany mexick�m vyslanectvim v Pra-
ze a jejich origindly mam. ssebou, s kopiemi ve Span�lsk�m a anglick�m
prekladu. Jedin� feSenf, kter� mi nabfdlo mexick� ministerstvo zdra-
votnictvi, je prdce full-time chirurga v m�stsk� nemocnici, za sti-
pendium US$ 280,- m�sftn�. Z t�to Castky budeme zde nynf platit byt
a zit cela rodina. To znamend v mfstnich podminkdch hranici bfdy a
hluboko nizS8i Urovem, neZ mdm doma, v Ceskoslovensku,i kdyZ, jak jste
jist� informovan, naSe platy doma jsou velmi skromn�. Byla moje chyba
a div�rivost, Ze jsem odjel bez frddn� uzavten�ho kontraktu. Maj pri-
jezd do Mexika byl opakovan� urgovan a proto jsem potital se seriosnim
jedn�nim, s mozZnosti uplatn�nf 44let�ho chirurga Karlovy university
S 18tiletou praxi v oboru. Z toho s deseti lety zkuSenosti ve vascu-
larnfi a experimentdlni chirurgii a v�deck� a pedagogick� Sinnosti v
problematice chirurgie tropickych oblastf Afriky a Arabie. Nic z toho
Sse nesplnilo.
Nyni stojim pred rozhodnutim pozddat naSe velvyslanectvi o
dopravu domi, se vSemi diisledky, kter� bych pak nesl; nebo se pokusit
V jin�m stat� si poctiv� vyd�lat plat k dostate�n�mu Zivotu rodiny a
a eventuelnimu navratu do vlasti, protoze mdm mdm oficielni povoleni
K pobytu kdekoliv v zahrani�i na 1 rok, s moZnosti i dalSiho prodlou-
zeni. Nelze vyjadrit slovy, jak vyznamn� byste zm�nil tento, vice
nez trpky osud rodiny Gesk�ho chirurga, kdybyste mi umoZnil pracovat
alespon 6 m�sicti v USA jako exchange-visitor. KaZzdy den, ktery zde
travime, je napln�n pocitem bidy a bolesti pripohledu na naSe d�ti
protoze mi neni umozneno svou praci a kvalifikaci jim zajistit zivot
za snesitelnych podminek. ay
Maj s�f, profesor.Dr.E.Polakp minabidl�a napsal doporutujiciY
pro Vas, ve sv� jasnozrivosti a zivogni zkuSenosti. Ja i Zena mluvi-
me anglicky, francouzsky, n�mecky a Gdstetn� Span�lsky. D�ti maji

odpoved. VZdy jsem byl zvykly feSit si sv� t�Zk
je prede mnou t�mr bezvychodna4a situace. Prosim, napiSte mi na dole
