Does anyone have any information on air ambulances for 'critical' patients in nursing homes? From TAS to QLD?
My father in law suffered a major stroke in January of this year in Tasmania. He was in hospital until March and was then placed in a high care nursing home facility in a smaller town about 30 mins away from where he originated. My partner and I reside in Brisbane and before the stroke, my father in law was preparing his house to sell because he wanted to move to Brisbane to be with his son, as well as the fact that we are expecting our first child in July. He's expressed to my partner on numerous occasions that he did not want to spend another winter in Tasmania, and did not want to die alone on that island, or ever be entered into aged care. We've recently sold his house and the settlement has just gone through. My partner has power of attorney and we are currently responsible for paying his aged care bills. Since his major stroke, he has suffered another smaller stroke which has sent him into a dementia type state. Some days he's very responsive, other days not. He has lost all short term memory, and lost personality. He's an extremely intellectual man with a PhD in Indonesian, Masters in Education, a History and Political Science degree and half a Law degree. So it's quite devestating to see him deteriorate. We would like to have him transferred to another high care aged facility in Brisbane. It's his dying wish and he's currently alone. We've been told by his doctors that there's absoloutely no way that he'll ever be able to get on a commercial flight, and of course cannot be transported by car. The only way to have him transported to Queensland is through some type of Air Ambulance service that caters to 'critical patients'. We're aware that this can cost a fair amount of money (15k+) and are willing to pay it to get my father in law here, if not to see his son for the last time or his grandchild for the first. I'm looking for advice on what to do, we really don't know where to turn or how or what to enquire on. Are these private services, are they organised by hospitals, do we just ask the flying doctors. Thank you to anyone who can give me any useful information. Please include sources.

To my knowledge the transfer is organised by the hospital. If you have been told by his doctors that there's absolutely no way that he'll ever be able to get on a commercial flight, I would think the air ambulance would not take on the responsibility of transporting him either. Speak to your own doctor about the situation, he should be able to advice you. Another idea is to enquire at your local senior citizen association, or a social worker at the public hospital in your area.

Contact the Tasmania Department of Health and Human Services 1300 135 513 they should be able to help you. If you don't get any help there contact Michelle O'Byrne Tasmanian Minister for Health http://www.premier.tas.gov.au/cabinet/michelle_obyrne

Stop Kafeel system in Saudi Arabia
Stop Kafeel system in Saudi Arabia...?
In Saudi Arabia lot's of nationalities working in different companies, and in different professions, like company employees, have shop, working in hospital as nurse, house maid, driver, labor, and lot's of other professions. But Saudi Kafeel making problems for their employees every time, big problem salaries not paid at right time, asking money to renew work permit, if someone have vacation after his contract again he have to pay money to his Kafeel (employer) so they can Proceed his passport for re-entry visa. My suggestion Saudi govt. have to do something and take all this in his hand so fernier can feel relax during work and save from their crime, specially house maid, they are not paying salary on right time and after all using for their abuse, and bring people on one contract and after that when we are here they show an other contract then what we have to do, no Choice they said you have to sign on this new contract and start work otherwise go back, but who want to go back when someone spent a lot's of money to come over here. Most of Filipino and Indonesian having problems. what you have advice friends? Prince

Can I get my US visitor visa
Can I get my US visitor visa?
Hi everyone, Im a registered nurse working full time in Sydney holding permanent residency of Australia and my nationality is Indonesian. Im planning a trip to NYC in November. I have bought the ticket and booked the accommodation. Stupid me, leaving the process of obtaining a visa the last. Now im desperate to get a visitor visa with just 3 weeks time. I have scheduled an interview and gathered all the documents that show that I am a genuine tourist with full intention to come back to Sydney (letters and photos from family and friends, letter from employer, paychecks, bank statements, bills, tax return, superannuation, and my membership of an organization). My question is are these documents enough to get me a visa?Problem is I dont have a car or mortgage and I am a single girl (I might look suspicious). I am very very nervous as I cant cancel the round ticket and the accommodation. Going to NYC is my life long dream too, I would be crushed if I dont get to go. What are my chances?Can anyone advice me what I can do more to increase my chances?Perhaps suggestion of more documents??

It looks like you have a steady job, especially in a 'western' country, so I think your chances of being approved a visa is extremely high. The biggest fear the US government has about a foreign visitor is the visitor would overstay the visa and not leave and work as an illegal. I don't see why you want to become an illegal in the US when you're a registered nurse in a free country just like th US.
