Lone, Unpaid Doctor, Unlicensed?

While it is not right not to compensate a doctor, i.e. a lone doctor on Tinian for four months, is it also not right to make a non-US licensed doctor practice in the CNMI? Well, according to sources, this doctor that used to practice at CHC is not really a US licensed physician. Allegedly, this doctor practiced at CHC on special terms with the local government?

I guess, in the end, licensed or not, Tinian needs a doctor to treat its people.

Again, this doctor as witnesses would attest is not really adept to his profession. There were complains about this doctor in the past that I believe some of you are aware of. Won't delve further....

What is the name of the allegedly unlicensed doctor?

This is just a wild guess, but it is probably the doctor on the front page of today's Tribune. If so, your question is not so easy to answer as it seems.

This "doctor" on Tinian reminds me of what the LBJ Hospital in American Samoa is doing.........Kind of scary....

I don't know if this has anything to do with the post but I have had an erection for six hours straight. Does Viagra normally do this? I came four times with a hooker I picked up in Garapan and it is still so hard it hurts.

What can I do to kill the erection?

check FHP in Oleai Center, they're allowing a nurse to perform doctor's job for expecting mommies.

No wonder they are the cheapest health provider($1,500 package), they ask you to pay in full without telling...

just to appraised everyone...

Willie Tan is part owner of Saipan and will be full owner when Article 12 is taken out in 2011.

Keep Marianas lands in local hands.

Tan will only own 60%. White guy school teachers and lawyers will buy up 10%. They will buy and sell it ceaselessly as they come and go. (Ron F. Schoolteacher Hodges will finally be happy and rejoin the Chamber of Commerce). Another 10% will be retained/traded among the few remaining moneyed local NMDs. The other 20% will be Ricky Delgado's turf.

The key, of course, is to get the courts to rule that all the non-NMD's can vote the issue come 2011 in contravention to the Constitution.

This is not the first time that the Govt did not pay it doctors on Tinian.
Years ago after Dr Peoples left,(Canadian) a replacement doctor (with wife, also Canadian) that had worked in Tinian about 10 yers before, came back and the same thing happened,beside none of the promised things in his contract were provided, he ended up drawing from his Canadian "retirement fund" to survive.

A dentist and his wife that came to Tinian (from Canada) also had about the same problems. All talk and no action from the NMI Govt.

The doctor eventually left,about six months later. I do not know if he ever got paid.
The last doctor before this present one, resignd because his US license had expired.
Now Tinian finaly gets a Doctor and the Saipan Govt pulls the same shit on not paying.
About the same style as nurses trying to renew their license issued in Saipan. "nobody home" only collects Govt. salary.

Yeah, I remember those days of the Canadian docs.. LOL They used to Call CHC "Canadians Helping Chamorros" :)

tinian is always having a problem retaining doctors, perhaps because the people running the hospital there are not in the medical field and are just appointed by whoever is the mayor at the time. That doctor in particular is a quack nonetheless. he kept a man who had a heart attack on tinian in the hospital there for 3 days before finally sending him to saiapn where they immediately medivacked him to PI. he has not won the locals over, in particular the manamko, who think he needs to wear deoderant. not that that makes him a bad doctor, but the other stuff does.
