@Justwise

Meehn ur indifference is priceless I must say. ... 
Nice 

To add to the above. ...
I think u may need to layout the new set o' rules because apparently they are changing and more stringent given ur reviewed policy on hospital advert. 

It's becoming tighter and harder to post new areas (obgyn n hospitals alike) of interest. 

Perhaps there's need to balance the policy such that we all don't queue to the handful of coys that have been informed enough to satisfy ur advert requirements

I got help here when I needed it, so I don't see a problem posting about prices I have found in order to make intending travellers make decisions on some place, or even consider to use it...

When it's cheap it's cheap and when it's expensive it's expensive so why can't I say it?

Haba, try and be considerate ooo

There is no need for another set of rules we have 22 already here....only if some people can be a little bit considerate and stop acting as an advertising agent for some hospitals and Drs.

In part 1 and beginning of part 2 people share any info here freely I only restrict hospitals from doing in-thread ad but as many hospitals started paying to place ad here it's only fair to stop members directly or indirectly posting materials here that could be considered as an ad.

I also know that certain individuals here purposely advertise for certain Drs and property agencies in the name of 'giving back'.

There are enough info here for anybody who cares to read back about hospitals or POE experiences

Justwise, I do understand you have got to do what you have to do. The admin has to make money through ads but I think the rules are becoming too stringent. It's almost like people can't post relevant info regarding hospitals and doctors any more.

This is supposed to be a DIY thread but these rules seem to be encouraging 'agency' patronage, don't you think? Part one was very successful because we had the freedom to share info openly.

Just saying. . .

Just seeing this.

But, how about discouraging only posts about hospitals/drs in same location as the ones that have bought land on this page? Fair deal? wink

So what are the rules on posting in hospitals here?

I've read through the site and haven't posted. I tried to respond to someone's query about hospitals and realised my posts kept getting deleted.

Not sure what was wrong with my posts. I've seen very similar posts here and that's how i got information that allowed us make our plans..

How is one able to help others if you can't post vital information that others need?

Is it only a certain group of people that are allowed to post hospital details? What are the rules?

@ justwise.. I wasn't trying to promote any hospital as I have no business with them but only for d fact dat we are trying to get affordable or gud deals...

I mean it's worth considering if hospital A collects 8900 as bill while hospital B collects 3800..

Bear in mind that both hospital A AND B are in same location.

I never accused you of that.


Actually that will not help a lot of expecting mums. A lot of expensive hospitals today used to be cheap/affordable but as soon as their names are mentioned here and people started contacting them they raise their prices and even charge for Dr's letter.

I think I also understand how difficult the job is for @justwise but he should also consider how restrictive its becoming for peeps to post on this forum. If we can't post ordinary doc/hospital details and cost here for comparison, then how are we helping others... very soon even poe & visa interviews will be off-limit. (as soon as poe's & individual consulates start advertising grin)
@justwise; remember that advertisers are coming for this page becos of the number of visits/page views it gets and people would stop visiting if there is no more information for them to gain here or to share thereby also affecting the advertising....

I'm just here laughing kikikikikikikikikiI
I like Phema's suggestion

Normally if u r followin, You'll know d Hospital someone here is using. When the person comes to drop the cost breakdown you'll automatically know.

Some of the cost breakdown we see here especially recently isn't news. So if you have thoroughly researched you Won't comman b dropping same "Stale" breakdown.. But then it's good becos ghost newbies come out of hiding and start asking questions... Lol... And then disappear again kikikikikikikikiki

My suggestion is
we can switch to I used this and this Hospital.. Will share my cost breakdown later. Therefore it's not in one post. Lol...
The thing is even 3 pages back people don't wanna read.... They'll still comman ask "what Hospital is that"
Shior "a coba daba"... ( Hope i spelled it well) comman b putting sand in someone's garri

I got my visa using medical .
However someone assisted me to get an acceptance letter from a hospital which is quite expensive.

I tried reaching another hospital that is less expensive but was directed to zoc.doc where my appointment was confirmed. But when I emailed the less expensive hospital they gave me their standard prices and said I have to come there physically to pay and also call when I get to usa to book an appointment. Wilkl the evidence I have for the less expensive hospital suffice at poe. Also hope there will be no issue as I applied using an acceptance letter from the expensive hospital

By the way please, for those who used Oakbend, did you all get a bill from brown&brown, because till today (months after delivery) i have not received any bill from them oh. I only got babys bill.

feddy27:


Congrats dear. You will need to call them or send an email to jennifer.torres@medarms.com. She sent my zero balance to me, I made payment over the phone.

chai.. I got both (mother & child's) bill from them by post after like 2weeks and I paid both online but I'm yet to get zero balance. Let me fire off a mail to the jennifer torres sef.. However, I didn't get any bill from the anesthesiologists oh. I called them like 3/4 times but they said my wife's name/details was not in their system. Anyone with the same experience..??

why won't you? Is it that u don't av more than that for now or u don't like travelling with cash.

If u don't have more than that for now... Is risky cos it also means ur statement won't suffice and then if you r asked to prove u av cash ( a mother here had to sign into her account to prove she had money in her account) u won't b able to.

But if it's that u don't like to carry money... Then fine... These people know our PTA limit is 4k.. So print ur statements.. Raise d money with u to 4k. Nd b ready to prove u av Money in ur account.

Guess what there r people they don't even bother with what they have.. While there are some they stress a whole lot. At the end na God favor jare

Very poor management of my situation here oooo embarassed. I had an emergency few days ago and had to use a big part of my money.
Now i was hoping my last salary would pass before travel day but that's unlikely now.
I'm so stressed about the all situation. I have more then enough on my savings account but my checking account will be almost empty.
Do you think the saving statement will do the trick ?
