Should I respond or should I not? !.....

Okie. ...first of, let's not make this about any doctor please for starters. ...

Second, while there have been sarcastic jabs here and there, bullying is a whole other level on its own.

Now onto clearing me about calling people lazy, please no offense buh let's be real for once, ...... I come to this thread and claim " I read parts one and two then go on to ask a question, answer to which is just a page away. .what do you call that. ...
I acknowledge as you state that u re a soloist by nature, well me I'm a realist. ..I don't like to patronise or sugarcoat..... wen I say lazy I mean lazy. ..I don't need to have the right I simply need to have the logical premise. ..
Next on, not everybody (not even much so ) dt comes here with new info are labeled agent! Let's not capitalise on that bekoo. ....

Now with this clique thingy, for the fact the THEY -CLIQUE are apparently jobless to come here and form clique in a faceless forum truly is untold. ...

Bear in mind that is not everyday or week a new member gives birth here and rarely do you see members venturing out into the open sea ergo what u get is similar n same stories. ..and resultant filing to very few and limited source where we end up overwhelming them.

No qualms nor hard feelings here. ..Peace yo.


Okie na, oya this is calling out to all the clique members, bekoo ignore and let whosoever don't have the patience n kindness to give MEANINGFUL answers to QUESTIONS been posted here shut d heck. ...don't bother referring newbies to pages or parts. ..pls by all means this can be done!

Finally, this is a call out to most of us here, can we kindly stop being so personal about these doctors et al.
For Pete's sake, it's money we PAID for their services. We re not their employees neither are we their office managers where we go about pulling each others hair in the name of being a fan or no.

If u wanna fought go into politics. .it's plenty there.





Dentale:
Shuoooo!!! Another dragged out argument brewing! Action always happening when I'm at work. Justwise Pele, U have ur work cut out in moderating this thread.
@Olokings everyone cannot be a research specialist. And nobody has got a right to label anyone else as lazy here. By the way, I learnt about Dr. F since late 2012 from a Nigerian work colleague based in Houston. Not everybody heard about him from Nairaland. Like someone rightly pointed out, the most helpful people on this thread have also been the most generous with information. It's usually those with limited or no info that come here posting up and down without adding real value (with the exception of a few)! And of course they get likes from their cliques (boarding school things) egging them on.
Some might think that is what keeps this thread alive but I disagree. People telling their stories, giving reviews and being real helpful to others is what keeps the thread alive. Not being sarcastic and downright rude to others or chasing "agents" up and down as if Justwise can't do his thing by himself.
Neks says the truth in that if I volunteer any info here, the first thing some folks will do is find out how long I've been on Nairaland and if not long enough, then I must be an agent cheesy.
I don't care about cliques. It's allowed to form one. Me, I'm a bona-fide soloist by choice. But saying you haven't noticed bullying on this thread means must be clueless or one of bullies yourself. Live and let live people! Let's enjoy this thread abeg.

This thread/forum is constituted of ADULTS.

Noone held another's hands here just like no one will hold another's to their final destination no matter how close they might seem along the way.

You come here, you learn, you use info gained to achieve your goal. If afterwards you decide to stay and add value to others gud and nice, If not no qualms.

@Tvegas (nice name again) u became the veteran you are today by researching and acquiring meaningful info and not by sitting around to be spoonfed.

Check out the trend, we are becoming lazy to a fault. ..we just wanna file to one lain sourced out by a veteran until we sap the quality outta that point then trash it.

Chief to be sincere I'm off the character where of I enter a place I know houses info and there's Noone or refusal to direct me. .I tk it upon myself to find my way around.

C'mon chief even you ignore until it's very important t then u wade into a matter that's y u may ve noticed anytime u comment then it's know a cap is about to blow.

If the so called cliques don't toss out d bitter pill of directing we newbies how to fish in the ever changing waters then you will see ppl making mistakes because due diligence is such hardworking these days.

Like I said before, 99 percent of members here are adults n patents. ...this is not bullying I won't totally agree with that. ..

The innocent doctor F papers has been tossed so much at VO because of ppl who don't wanna work buh milk him for his correspondence.

Once again weer need the hard n bitter pill...

People go and source new areas oooh....
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by olokings(m): 7:32am On Nov 05, 2015
I agree with you.
They have seen that name one too many times.
And when they ask how you found out about the doctor n you claim I researched and googled it without coming clean to say nairaland they immediately deduce you ate LYING which is a big red flag for them.

If you lie about your source if doctor whom they have seen a long queue presenting same correspondence what says you ate not lying about other intentions.

Please newbies try to research other docs that can give you correspondence because the kind doc F have been over flogged n his correspondence have lost ground with too baby presentations.

Put in a lil work n get ursef d visa. .

Gud luck y'all. .



LadyGuinivere:
Shebi Dr F is the one people have been Complaining about? I suggest u get another dr and reapply. My reason for saying this is because of a comment the Vo Made on the other thread that they know Drs that are not safe

it's not just about naija docs...
its particular practice with obgyns around the texas area given the law standing.

Q-Tips to identify VBAC friendly docs:
1. they have conducted LOTS of successful VBAC with patient testimonies and reviews.
2. their office practice are usually housed in the same building complex / facility as the hospital.. or at most less than 5 minutes walk/drive from the hospital.
3. the hospital is most likely to be highest level NICU facility.
4. VBAC friendly docs is not a matter of certification, its more of a matter of choice that's all..

reminder: research them well and check out all your options ontime because some of them who are true VBAC docs even go the extra mile of insisting on getting copies of your med report on the previous C-Sessions to enable them make a good decision if / not you are a positive VBAC candidate.

if the doc is so quick to tell you YES to VBAC without proper background checks and med history, bekoo just pick race or ready to be knifed...

gud luck again.

neks31:
Wow you don't say? These naija docs r scaring me o..
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by olokings(m): 3:43pm On Nov 03, 2015
very correct ooh..
most of these doctors are of the habbit of encouraging and assuring mommas that they will conduct VBAC for them and at the last minute when you have no option they will get you under the knife..

best bet if you are a VBAC candidate is to google VBAC FRIENDLY DOCTORS around your area and READ their REVIEWS to decipher amongst them who are trully VBAC experienced obgyn...

after my wifey's session during our visit to the pead, he confessed that he rarely ever if not never have seen a VBAC2 successful momma so be watchful.

make sure durring appointment booking that you notify both the obgyn and hospital so they wont toss a policy in your face when its the 11th hour.

gud luck yo.

FinanceFitness:
Hmm, please check this very well o, just to be sure Dr Amajor isn't just luring you in. Follow Olokings'advice on reviews on whether or not she has handled vbac before and all.

The reason I ask that you thread with caution is that while I was in the US, my flatmate used Dr Amajor and Methodist - she wanted vbac, went into labour and was about 6cm dialated or so. When she got to Methodist and told them that it was vbac, they didn't agree. They called her doctor and her response was that she was going to put her in trouble. Long story short, she had another Csection despite her dilation.

Now, this is what she told us herself, we don't know the other part of the story.

But check to be sure o.

Point of correction madam! Niara land baby bizness is not what made me or better still feed me. if i want real baby bizness i will go for bigger fish like manufacturing baby products. Not wasting my talent marketing to people like you just to make peanut. I am not fake or better still a wanna be. I am a real deal madam. unlike so many here who pretend to use soul care just because others are saying they used it . Some of you can't afford it but your pride just could not let you be true to y'll selves. So many of you use the poor lady to get in for cheap rate coming at almost the end of the month and then looking for who will rent a room for you for $600. Stop faking it ohhhhhhhhhhhh be real to yourself.

I understand your POV, it's more complex than just sharing. My information will be totally useless because the doctor does not give intl patients appointment, we were referred based on familiarity, and Chicago POE is unfriendly.

Also, if we share, and the hosp gets contacted, they will get conflicting information and it will look like we are liars.

The doc is extra busy but took my case personally because of my history and her nostalgic allegiance to Africa. Infact it was a full team from her faculty that was dispatched to monitor and bring out this baby.

Modath joined the party as my sister and because she was already in US with me. Infact I took her by the hand to the doctor before and said this is my sister from Africa. Infact, we were walking in for our hospital visits without appointments! (When you know the boss hehehe). Once they tell her we are around, she takes out some minutes to see us and if she is in surgery, her team members see us. They can't do this for everybody na.

If one goes officially, omo na gbege! Bills of 31k and 34k will fly through your face, but we related personally with the doctor and her faculty. I remember on the operating table, they were showing students, "this is the bladder, this is the uterus..." We just offered ourselves to be case study! lol

In this light it is impossible to share, my case was her pet project. The hospital management approved our bills before we delivered due to her influence and It is was done out of pity.

And even I am moved to help someone out of pity, it means i have to reveal my true identity, send you to my cousin in Chicago in person who will now form 'ah doccie, this is my sister from Africa'. And really I cannot do that for anybody and inconvenience her even though she's an angel, there is a limit to human endurance.

We were lucky with what we got. We even needed to get approval from the hosp management to return to Africa.

Modath has mentioned identity the name of the hosp and actual cost of the hosp in a recent post.

So my dear brother, my info will not benefit anyone, and don't mind us when we smirk about our chicago care.

We are just basking in the euphoria that God favoured us and crowned our efforts with favour with the hospital and the doctor. My 1st post in part 2 about Chicago doctors still stand. There are awesome doctors and hospitals with fantastic prices scattered around, all in that post
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by olokings(m): 8:45am On Oct 27, 2015
@all, there's a reality check y'all need to wake up to. ...

1. There will be leaches, lurkers, spammers, genuine users who take n don't give back, trolls, agents, commissioners. ..there's NOTHING n NO WAY they can be eliminated. .checked yes buh elimination mbah..

2. We need to understand that we read, get the logic of things and source out better deals for our own betterment and cost effectiveness and afterwards throws it out there for others to enjoy as well. ..thanks to the likes of phema tvegas whose info shines all around this thread. ..now whether or not these info are stolen and/or agents n d lines make a tonne of moni of it is really none o' our business because bottom line is reason why we sourced d info in the first place had been actualized.

3. now this maybe perceived as negative or otherwise, nerf n MO. .. (nerf categorically stated she's been hiding info on Chicago) truly lemme start with acknowledging and commending on ur effort zeal n concoction you put into having ur way around Chicago. .truly I'm impressed.
However I have noticed from ur subtle comments n implications here and there that yo both are quite sentimental and hold the info n way they are used pretty close to ur hearts. ..no be so oooh. ...even if it's only you that eventually chops d Chicago area. ...u will still not want to go more than 7 missionary journeys cool grin ...then of what use is the info to u..

U see d case of almost 90 percent of NL reference n concerns phema for the impact on their life and age doesn't come here ranting about agents stealing her info for personal gains. .u just can't help it when it comes to that. ...
So please madams I beg u to tender mercy with justice. ....Pirates are here to stay we can only but rose above them by training newbies not to fall prey n decline dia mkt. ..

Thanks again at justwise for your consideration. .u the man meehn...

Congrats to y'all. ..veterans, recents, hopefuls. ..newbies. ..trolls, lurkers agents (small small we go sieve una out)... best of luck

nefertitiram:
Yes I do.
Testimonial posts should include:
Visa procedure
POE experience
Name of Doc
Name of Hosp
Costs
Processes involved eg how bills were pd, discounts, getting baby papers etc.

The suspicious posts of "I found a place in toronto for $300, PM me for details" can be hidden
It's either you share or you don't share, not half half info or I heard bout this hosp or this doc with no first hand info can be hidden at your discretion.

The agents taking info and selling it as their packages, there is nothing you can do about it. It's part of the downside.

I hope I have spoken as Jega, and will be able to pacify both sides.

Not a problem. Most people here won't patronise them anyways, if they get quality info here.



That is because you are not the new mamas desperately in need of info. I was in their shoes and I know how daunting the whole process can be with little or no info.

We all have gained from this thread, we should learn to give back.
infact you deserve a medal... seriously...!!!
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by olokings(m): 2:28pm On Oct 26, 2015
look at it from this angle...
if this new policy is implemented fully this exact complaint and reason you are putting foward would play out and fast at that.

by the time everyone starts queuing to a handlful of hospitals and the so called agents/pirates have not much game to pounce on .. they too (hospitals and docs) will close their doors then everybody will be OYO...

we should know very well that wherever sector you find yourself as long as there is valuable info there will always be trolls and pirates... you cant help it.

well, i guess you will be comfortable because as u don be guru and grasp the logic of things... even if we shutdown or put embargo on even POE stories sef u no get shaking as u na don for the matter... buh the newbies we are indirectly chasing them into the hands of the same agents we are checking against and apparently giving them more business.

well... POV differs and me in as much as i keep carrying placard for a policy review, i no get headache anyways ooh... i got one more round and i know where i am going...

thanks to all the veterans that have been extremely kind enough to put the info out there....

PS: if this new policy regime stays, the admin should be kind enough to edit parts 1 and 2 because then part should just be a reference directing newbies & pirates alike to parts one and two. business continua.

modath:
You and i know you make sense dieeeeee.. but you didn't look at it from the POV that not everyone goes on this missionary journey at the same thing...

The info that gets dropped here become useless in a month of two cos of high influx of calls & the genuine people don't even get to benefit in most cases...

& the most annoying part is that since they personally don't have nothing at stake, they don't feel the hurt that I'm sure you felt when MIHS closed its doors.....

Increment in price is a problem that can be sorted, outright refusal of service nko?

They are right back here to lurk, get the next info & the cycle continues...
