Belize-n-us.

You are getting more and more incredible as time goes by. Perhaps you should spend more time lobbying the government instead of trying to obtain approval from the member of this board.

I am amazed at your audacity - attempting to tell Natalie ANYTHING about Dr. Dan's business. She has been working with Danny ever since he became a qualified MD. She is one of the most qualified and experienced nurses and mid-wifes that I have ever had the pleasure and honour to have known. Danny and Natalie have delivered more babies on this island than any other professional team.

All of the doctors on the island deliver babies. Danny is the only specialized OB/GYN. Nobody needs to leave the island in order to deliver a baby unless they require specialized care or surgery.

We don't necessarily need an anesthesiologist on the island - although it would be nice. We don't have any fully equipped OR's nor do we have a decent X-ray machine - or room to house one. But this type of care is available only 30 miles away in Belize City or 50 miles away in Chetumal.

I would desperately love to see Dr. Tina obtain her license to practice medicine in Belize, she has certainly worked hard to earn and deserve the license.

We have a visiting pediatrician and they poly clinic brings in a wide variety of specialists.

Certainly the poly clinic would enjoy and appreciate your voluntary services.

I believe Natalie should be shown the respect and appreciation that she deserves.

Please stop putting your pompous, holier than thou foot in your mouth, it is getting old.

I second that Amanda! A liscense won't be obtained on the Message Board but an awful lot of "ill will" will be. Judy M.

"Please stop putting your pompous, holier than thou foot in your mouth, it is getting old."

I said she might be the nurse midwife I met. If so, we had a nice chat. I enjoyed meeting her.

I certainly do NOT have a holier than thou attitude.

How was I not respecting her?

Some of you here that just like to pick a fight is what gets old.

I have offered to help her and Dr. Dan through volunteering my services and you consider that a "holier than thou" attitude?

"We don't necessarily need an anesthesiologist on the island -"

Mighty easy for you to say since you aren't currently pushing a 6 - 10 # baby out of your body.

My bet is the women that do so without adequate anesthesia sure would appreciate one being on the island.

"We don't have any fully equipped OR's nor do we have a decent X-ray machine - or room to house one."

Room to house one? One what? An X-ray machine? I have one in my office. An O.R.? Any 20' x 20' room could be converted into a usable operating room.

Before this thread deteriorates any further let me say....

I meant no disrepect to Natalie. I don't know how Amanda read disrespect into my post.

Amanda, I'm sorry you and I have such an obvious problem. I'm sorry I ever posted about the bribe issue but it happened and I posted it. Let it go.

This post is NOT intended to be a critique of any healthcare providers in Belize.

This post is no more than providing information about obtaining medical licensure in Belize and the obsticles to that goal.

I had 3 kids, between 7 - 9.5 lbs. All naturally, without anesthesia. Yes, it hurt, but that is part and parcel of having a baby. I wouldn't have wanted anesthesia and all of the risks that anesthesia and medication carry.

Damn, I had forgotten about the bribery thread till now.

Hey, this island is big enough for the both of us. Why don't you come down and start making things happen. Enough talk. Action stations. Time everybody had a big shake up. You might be the right one to do it.

I wish you good luck and happiness.

Now who has a holier than thou attitude?

So women that want and use OB anesthesia love their babies less than you?

I have no need to "shake up" anything.

I just want to contribute in a positive way to place that I love.

I'm sorry that you misinterpret my intent but I'm not sorry for speaking my mind or at times pointing out the truth.
