With past experience with my wife's maternaty UIF I can say that seriously sux.

After 8 times to the offices they wanted my 9 month pregnant wife to be present. I had a few words and don't think I'm welcome in the building anymore.

Hope you get it sorted out soon.
I had the same welcome at Hyundai branch. Welcome,but do not enter.

@26:15 he also make a statement that gave him intellectual supremacy for a few seconds. "We don't want people infected with it."
He actually looks at the camera when saying it. Most other stuff he covers up for he looks to his left.

And I'm not saying anyone else in the video is right or wrong either.

Small correction: He is not "Dr" he is "DO" "Doctor of osteopathic medicine"

What Is Osteopathic Medicine?

With its big focus on preventing health problems, this field of medicine is on the rise. Never heard of it? You’ll want to get to know it, because there’s a chance that a doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) will help take care of you.

One of the keys to this field is the idea that many diseases are due to, or cause, problems within the body's musculoskeletal system, which includes the nerves, muscles, and bones. DOs pay extra attention to how all your body parts work together in order to prevent or treat health issues. And they get special training in that.

It’s hands-on. Osteopathic doctors believe that touch can be healing. All DOs are trained in osteopathic manipulative treatment, sometimes called manual manipulation or OMT. That's a hands-on method to help diagnose and treat illnesses. Not all DOs use it regularly in their practice, though.

But there's more to it than that. Osteopathic doctors get extra training in the musculoskeletal system. But they also learn all the other parts of modern medicine. They can prescribe medication, do surgery, run tests, and do everything else you would expect from a doctor.

It’s head to toe. Osteopathic medicine is about your whole body, not just specific parts or symptoms. So if you come in with, say, knee pain, they are likely going to look at more than your knee.

It’s on the rise. There are more than 108,000 DOs in the U.S. And more than 1 in 4 U.S. medical students are on the path to becoming a DO.

But it’s not new. Osteopathic medicine dates back more than 100 years. Its founder, Andrew Taylor Still, thought that correcting problems with the body's structure could help the body heal itself. Still, who practiced during the Civil War, believed that spine problems can send nerve signals out to all the organs and make you sick. He developed osteopathic manipulation treatments, the aim of which was to help restore the nerves to a healthy state and promote circulation so that the body could heal itself.

Ok he's a clever Dr.
Still focusing on the wrong part of medicine. I can see why. He's whole family had to start over and he couldn't speak English so he had to prove he's clever.
He maybe wants to take over Fauci's role one day. He might just get it.

What is your proudest achievement?
Being able to grow and maintain a social media network over 4 million strong while completing my family medicine residency. Social media allows me to reach not only my patients, but millions around the world with my health message.

MY B/B :
Durban - Police are investigating two cases of murder after two bodies were found lying at the side of a road in Mhlasini, near Verulam, north of Durban, this week.

It is alleged that the men, both in their 30s, were linked to a spate of crimes including house robberies and theft, in the area.

According to Reaction Unit SA spokesperson, Prem Balram, the bodies were found on Wednesday night.

He alleged that residents in the area had assaulted the two men.

“It has been established that the deceased were part of a four-man gang that was involved in a number of robberies and house break-ins in the area,” Balram said.
 
'I hope you get the virus' - senior Cape Town cop to be probed for alleged heavy-handedness
A senior police officer is to be investigated for allegedly threatening an elderly woman, a pregnant woman and several Cape Town residents in the Muizenberg area that were arrested for alleged lockdown breaches, saying to them: "I hope you get the virus."
The elderly woman was doubly traumatised because the officer was not wearing a protective mask when he blurted his alleged message, just centimetres from her face.
Also, SAPS officials from the station have since been self-isolated by police management after potential contact with a positive Covid-19 case.
These are among several allegations levelled at police in Muizenberg, Cape Town, by an elderly woman arrested 15 minutes after the "exercise window" ended - a few hundred metres from her home.
It allegedly took place at the same police station which has been criticised for being "over-zealous", and not using "logic or common sense" in some instances, by their provincial police commissioner, Lieutenant-General Yolisa Matakata.
The comments of the provincial police commissioner refer to the arrest of a mother and father who ran on to a beach to fetch their toddler - and were arrested for breaking the "lockdown" regulations.
The 62-year-old woman had been with her son, aged 20, last Tuesday, when they were arrested.
The pair have spoken of their trauma - asking that their names be kept confidential until authorities investigate their case.
They had been walking in Muizenberg, near the fresh-water vlei, during the 06:00-09:00 "exercise window".
The woman is aged 62, and tried to tell police she was late arriving back home because she had slowed on her walk, due to a knee injury.
Instead, she endured a seven-hour ordeal at a police station.
The woman said she had a knee injury - had slowed on her walk - and underestimated the time it would take to return home. As a result, she and her son had neared their home at around 09:15.
There, they encountered police, who arrested them, bundled them into a police vehicle, and took them to the Muizenberg SAPS police station.
There, they joined several more people arrested. Among them was the "ocean protester", who was arrested for "standing still" during the exercise window, as captured by News24 in a video which has since gone viral.
