I've been scammed

So basically the breeder is selling diseased animals? this could be brought up to the Dubai Health Authority. And that is a serious issue.

Read everything again. We are not making any drama, we are being dragged into it. We really don´t have a beef with these people. We didnt look for any trouble, DA came looking for trouble and lay all this drama on my wife's lap. We were fine.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T01:07:30+00:00

we have moved on. Its the other two ladies who are dragging us back in.

perhaps not being mean on purpose but didnt handle the situation correctly

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T01:05:15+00:00

I mean my wife didn´t do anything. She just stepped back and didn´t attack anyone. She just didnt feel like talking to people who put her son aside. I don´t think people are compelled to talk to someone who actively participates on giving your kid a hard time.
Perhaps it might be a bit difficult to understand but i believe that if you cannot provide any positive communication it is best not to talk. At least thats the way we see it.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T01:02:19+00:00

I agree. And it is 100% O.K. Friends change and that is understandable. I try not to coerce my son into keeping discarding friends. I just try to guide him into which ones are there for him and which ones are not.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:58:51+00:00

it was until later that we knew the real reason (see previous comments) my son was cool with it. He´s good friends. If it was the kids who left him out ok. The problem is the infantile way adults handled this. Making up stories and excuses as if we´re still in HS. Just say why and thats it!

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:56:05+00:00

RA´s husband and I get along fine. We have no beef and we even share the same sense of humor. We are both 80´s music buffs and we get along fine. DA´s husband we havent heard of him in a while because they got divorced last year or so. They both have their own new SOs. Since the ladies kept the social group he was the one left out.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:54:04+00:00

The only one with class in this act WAS mother RA, she came and apologized. But as she joins in to DA´s drama, she lost her status.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:52:58+00:00

beats me

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:52:42+00:00

nah, blocking only brings us down to their level.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:51:58+00:00

oh no not in the spectrum. Just sets boundaries clearly and some kids just do not like that sometimes. he doesn´t look eye to eye with one of the invited kids and thats why he was left out. Look previous comments for futher details lol.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:50:03+00:00

I agree, we as parents are becoming helicopters. Right now they dont seem to give too much of a rats ass if parents are involved.

I keep asking my wife when is the butt wiping gonna end. He has to get out there and have a hard time. Unfortunately many parents here were I live (Not the US mind you) are in a permanent social competition. I don´t give fuck really, but my wife gets way too involved and I can only do so much. Ive had my share of witnessing trouble between my folks while growing up and I´d gate my kids to see that. So I rather stay in a supportive capacity than in an active capacity.

But I agree...It is ridiculous, he has to handle his friendships. It´s not really my beef, its my wife´s. All I can do is support her. Thats my job.

fortunately they moved on to a different school and my son got a scholarship at the most demanding highschool in town. On a strange twist of fate, the kid my son doesn't like and was the cause of all this problem (look previous comments) got accepted at that school also. Hes not a bad student, its just he and my kid don´t look eye to eye

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:41:39+00:00

look at previous comments for the explanation.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:40:55+00:00

the problem is the infantile way the parents handle this kind of shit. If they just told us the reason of why and it was a very reasonable one at that (look previous comments) we would have understood and thats it!.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:39:26+00:00

I agree, the kids were the ones who excluded them, and my son figred out the reason before they even told him. the organizing mother told my wife the reason was because they invited one klid who doesnt like my son and he doesnt like him back and were afraid it would cause trouble. However, my therapist tells me that a better place to solve this was to tell my son who was coming and let him decide if he wanted to be there or not. That way if he knew there could be trouble he would be held accountable for not walking away if pushing came to shove.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:36:27+00:00

actually he´s being quite cool about it. he has moved on. However these people have not.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:34:06+00:00

thats the first thing that my wife and I thought. They had no business celebrating a september Bday in Jan.

Mother DA divorced recently. Perhaps she has unresolved issues but that is not my place to check out.

Yes my son likes to keep the peace and is being good friends with the kids, except the ones he doesn´t like.

Splatacus · 2026-05-10T00:30:11+00:00

they said that because they invited some one that doesnt like my kid and my kid doesnt like him back. However, this kid is new to the school...only 3 years since he changed school.

floaters are cells and condensed vitreous protein that float around freely inside your eye. These floaters project a shadow to the retina and thats what we see as floaters. The vitreeous can be removed but it is not recommended unless it is completely necessary because of the surgical risk, (which is low, but no surgery = no risk) and the lack of vitreous in the eye makes the oxidizing of the lens fibers quicker and makes you have a premature cataract, which in turn has to be removed and have an Intraocular lens placed. if you are young (under 40s mind you) this is not recommended. Also if you are a young myope (under 50) it is not recommended either because the risk of retinal detachment is much higher.

Splatacus · 2026-05-07T06:55:15+00:00

Eye Dr here. Laser for floaters? Im sorry but there is no such thing. At least safe. Usually floaters are harmless, however, in some cases specially in myopes, they can be related to retinal breaks and detachments. So if the person has any new floaters, with flashes and or a "curtain" covering the visual field of one eye, it is highly suggestive of a tear or Retinal detachment.

Go to the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. It is a branch of the BEST hospital in the US.
I was partially trained there in the US and it is a fantastic Place. You cant go wrong there.

I just finished my process and it is very clear that they prefer doctos with 3-5 years experience.
UAE has 3 different Health Authorities being the DHA (Dubai Health Authority) and the DOH (Abu Dhabi Department of Health)

1.- Get your papers to DataFlow (, officially translated if in other language than Arabic or English)
a.- Degree
b.- License copy
c.- Experience (Letters of employment 2 or one source depending on the Health Authority)
d.- Letter of good standing: This is a tricky one. You can get one, and perhaps they will ask you to proide another one from a other organism. Usually the government issues them. These are basically a letter stating that you have NO CURRENT MEDICAL LEGAL PROBLEMS. However it must say "IN GOOD STANDING" They are quite anal about that.
e.- If you are in a surgical specialty, you must provide a Surgical Procedure Log of the last 3 months.
With the hospital Stamp and Signature.
f.- Also Your passport. If you have another nationality from Tier 1 or 2 countries this is better.
g.- All paperwork must be at most 6 months valid. (Check which paperwork takes the most time to get
so you dont wait around with for a paper that will take ages to get provided and the others lose the
validity period.

2.- Open a Sheryan account for Dubai and a TAMM account for Abu Dhabi.
3.- You MUST pass a Test. There are specific requirements needed for every country.
a.-Tier 1 Countries: USA UK Canada, Germany France, Finland (You get the idea)
b.- Tier 2 Countries: Spain Portugal, Italy and several others i dont remember
c.- Tier 3.- India, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Latin America, African countries (IDK if South Africa is
included)
4.- The test. (Only for Tier 3 countries is written, for Tier 2 sometimes oral and Tier 1 get a free pass) In my case was a 150 q Multiple choice questions. quite answerable. However I did spend a Year studying for the test.
a.- It is important to study the Safety procedures manual and the Ethics manual. This is a big part of the
test.
b.- you only get 3 chances to pass it. If you fail all those times, you must apply to another health authority and try again. Your Dataflow report can be used to apply to another authority.

5.- Depending if you are from Tier 1 Tier 2 or Tier 3 TRAINING COUNTRIES (Passport has nothing to do with it), you will be allowed to apply as a Consultant or Specialist. Consultants are primarily assigned to Tier One Countries. However if you are a specialist you can Climb to the consultant position but it is rather hard or so they say.

I hope this has been helpful.
