<p>he clinics listed below provided ART services throughout 2005 and accordingly were required to submit ART cycle data under the provisions of the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act passed by the U.S. Congress. These clinics either failed to submit data or did not provide verification by the clinic medical director that the tabulated success rates were correct, as required for publication.</p>

<p>Wow! This is getting as good as a suspense novel, lol. What else is the creepy doctor doing behind closed doors, with all his tubes and machines? Maybe Robin Cook can take this story and make it into a novel, lol.</p>
<p>The crazy thing is that this doctor has some wonderful looking credentials. I don’t get it. I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt until the investigation is concluded and the entire story comes out, but now that you have posted that information… I don’t understand why a doctor who has been schooled in the U.S. would have these “red flags”. Why? Why not practice good medicine, submit the data that is required, and just do what is medically in the best interest of the patient?</p>
<p>It’s interesting how this thread is attracting mostly women. I wonder what the men think?</p>

Nadya Suleman, the mother of the octuplets born last month, gets $490 a month in food stamps, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday evening. Three of her first children also get federal supplemental security income because they are disabled, The Times also reported…</p>
<p>Suleman told NBC News correspondent Ann Curry in an interview that she was not receiving welfare. Furtney said Suleman didn’t consider the food stamps and SSI to be welfare.</p>
<p>“In Nadya’s view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program … and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare,” he [her publicist] said. “They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare.”</p>
<p>Furtney declined to say what kinds of disabilities the three children have, The Times reported."

<p>^ She’s lying. I just re-listened to the interview. Nadya said, and you can replay it yourselves if you like, “And no, I am not receiving help from the government, not that there is anything wrong with that, for other people…”</p>
<p>Yup and mom and dad aren’t supporting you either honey. </p>
<p>This woman is off her rocker.</p>
<p>So, how soon before child protective services come knocking? This is very sad for all concerned.</p>
<p>This is starting to sound like a scam artist at work - disability payments for a back injury that magically disappears. Disability payments for three children. I wonder whether any of them are really disabled. </p>
<p>The doctor’s credentials are not great. He doesn’t even mention what field he did his residency in and, although he mentions that he was a fellow at the BI, he does not say that he completed this training, and he does not say that he is a reproductive endocrinologist. He is trying to make his credentials sound better than they are - no one would refer to the BI as “Harvard Medical School’s Beth Israel …” - it is a Harvard teaching hospital, but to refer to it the way he did is just odd. I was most amused by his reference to his “landmark” paper from 1983 - an abstract from a conference, not even published in a journal! I wonder what his current affiliations are - note that he does not specify which hospitals. If you want to see wonderful credentials, here is my doctor (thank you, Dr. O,for S1!):</p>

<p>Note the differences.</p>
<p>"
The owner of a nanny agency has come to the defense of the Whittier mother of octuplets, claiming that Nadya Suleman is “a great client, a great mom.”</p>
<p>Jacqueline Chatfield of Merry Poppins To Order, a nanny referral service in Covina, has provided child care to Suleman’s six older children for two years, she said. When the eight babies come home from Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center in the next seven to 12 weeks, Merry Poppins To Order will provide Suleman with free child care for a year, Chatfield said…</p>
<p>The agency is already trying to line up a head nanny to be in charge of caring for the 14 children.</p>
<p>“It takes a certain type of nanny to work with 14 kids,” Chatfield said.</p>
<p>Nannies typically cost between $8 and $15 per hour, depending on what duties are required, Chatfield said.</p>
<p>Chatfield said it’s been hard listening to people hurl insults at Suleman.</p>
<p>“She very much so loves these kids,” Chatfield said. “I think the public needs to hear this. She’s very articulate. She is a go-getter.”

<p>I notice in the article that the owner said that Suleman needed to finish her education to get a good job. That is what I most wanted Ann Curry to ask her–why didn’t she at least wait until she finished her degree (the one that’s going to be her magic ticket to that perfect job). Why now? Why the urgency?</p>
<p>^^She is crazy, that’s why. I really hope social services has a plan to protect these children from extreme neglect. Nobody can parent 14 small children by themselves. You can’t even get a child care license in this state for that number of children.</p>
<p>I’ve been wondering about the urgency, too. In the interview, she sets up a false choice: have all the embryos transferred, or somehow lose some of them. Usually embryos are frozen in pairs. There is no reason that she couldn’t have had a series of transfers.</p>
<p>I wonder whether she will sue the doctor for malpractice if there are any problems with the octuplets. He clearly did not follow medical guidelines. Somehow I doubt that she will miss this chance.</p>
<p>Did you see that the names are out? One of them is Maliyah. Michelle Obama may be grinding her teeth.</p>
<p>Oh, no! I hope the other girl is not named Sasha (or Alexandra).</p>
<p>I’m starting to think the nanny service is in on the scam. They won’t charge her, but I’m thinking they get to collect on childcare vouchers for disabled children. And they get free advertising in the process.</p>
<p>This whole story really frosts my cookies.</p>
<p>" she’s a go getter " obviously this is true. Nothing stopped her from expanding her family when she couldn’t provide for the six she already had.
This is not a good trait when it comes to Suleman</p>

<p>Might we say…cash?</p>
<p>Yes, sunnyflorida, but it seems to me in this business there is plenty of opportunity to make money. You have desperate couples that will fork over thousands upon thousands of dollars to get pregnant and hopefully end up with the birth of a healthy baby. I have 2 women in my own family who have been suffering for years by not getting being able to get pregnant. One has insurance that covered a good chunk of cost, and the other one has spent thousands out of pocket. They have kept trying, and unfortunately no positive results. They have undergone all kinds of medical procedures to get pregnant, emergency situations which included hospitalizations with more oppportunities to earn money. If one can make a honest living by doing the right thing, why commit malpractice and destroy one’s business and put a medical license on the line?
The 2 women in my family have been fertility patients for years and years because they have not wanted to give up hope. Plenty of money to be made without risking 9 lives at a time.</p>
