Madeleine McCann: Kate McCann’s Message And McCann Posters For Mari Cortes Luz
MADDYWATCH - Anorak’s at-a-glance guide to press coverage of Madeleine McCann
DAILY EXPRESS: “I feel your pain – Kate’s note to kidnap parents”
Kate McCann has delivered a “heartfelt message of support” to the parents of missing girl Mari Luz Cortes
Writes Kate, a “GP”: “I feel your pain, as parents we know what you’re going through…I am praying that Mari Luz is found quickly, safe and well”
Not that it’s all about the McCanns, a Maddy 2. Although: Says Juan Jose Cortes, Mari’s father: “Only now I understand what Madeleine McCann’s parents are suffering”
Neither Mr Cortes nor his wife are named suspects in their child’s disappearance
The McCanns have offered to equip posters of Madeleine with a shot of Mari – 12,000 of them are to be put up in Spain, the Balearic and Canary Islands
Mr Cortes says thank you but “We don’t feels strong enough to make a decision”
Says Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ spokesman: “The posters could lead to vital clues in both cases. Mari Luz’s face would sit along Madeleine’s… We just want to help”
Help who?
DAILY STAR: “’I KNOW THE PAIN YOU ARE FEELING’”
“Madeleine McCann’s mum has told the parents of a child feared snatched by the same abductor: ‘I feel your pain.’ GP Kate, 39, sent her words of comfort to the parents of five-year-old Mari Luz Cortes when the McCanns’ private detectives met them to investigate links between the two cases”
How did the papers come to know of this message, and how can knowing help either child?
“POLICE reject claims of link” – Portuguese police do not “believe” there is a link between Mari and Madeleine
Kate McCann is a “GP”
DAILY MAIL: “McCanns comfort lost girl’s parents”
Kate McCann has sent an “emotional message” to the parents of Mari Luz Cortes
THE McCanns will have to wait until September this year to discover why they were made suspects
THE MIRROR: “KATE’S PRAYER OF HOPE”
“I FEEL YOUR PAIN – Kate’s message to parents of missing Spanish girl Mari”
Reports are that police are seeking a “local sex pest” in Huelva
“70,000..the number of kids under 16 that go missing in the UK every year. Only 10 per cent vanish for more than five days”
Any more room on those posters? How are they remembered?
DAILY TELEGRAPH: “McCanns tell lost girl’s parents: We feel for you”
Says a friend of Mari’s parents, Irene a
nd Juan Jose Cortes: “They have been touched by the fact someone who is going through her own turmoil can find the strength to think of their moment of need”

Another thing, here in the south of France where there is a huge number of private swimming-pools, every summer a rather frightful number of children get drowned, mostly toddlers who can drown themselves in one inch high of water, as they panick once they have started breathing water in. We are constantly told to be specially careful when there is a swimming pool around, however shallow it may be. You had better lock the house or flat properly when you have a little one at home and a pool in the garden. That’s why I just can’t believe the MC left their door unlocked.

Here in the USA you would have to forget about insurance for a swimming pool unless you put a fence and gates around it. Because of the liability of a swimming pool, you won’t get it insured unless you seal it off completely. I know exactly what you’re saying with pools although I don’t know how hot they are on liability in France.
What part of the south are you at? I feel lost if I don’t get to go there each year.

Yes, there are consultant physicians in General Medicine who are of specialist status but treat a variety of complaints. For example, they might treat stomach problems, diabetes, even people admitted with heart attacks. Often, a general medical consultant might specialise in, for example, stomach problems, whilst not actually being just a consultant gastroenterologist. Another consultant might see only gastrointestinal problems but often gastroenterologists go under the heading of “General Medicine”. It’s a sort of overlap - they can treat a wider range of problems. A consultant in general medicine may treat diabetic patients - on the other hand, it is probably more likely these days that if you are diabetic you will be under the care of a consultant endocrinologist (specialist in endocrine/glandular problems) who may specialise in diabetes. Likewise, a hospital ward may be a cardiac ward with all heart patients, or it may be a general medical ward which takes people with different complaints including heart patients (not ones requiring high dependency care though).
It’s the same with surgeons, who are of course, in the UK, termed Mr, Mrs and Miss instead of Doctor, to signify that they have membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and can operate on people. There are cardiac surgeons who do heart transplants and valve surgery etc. Then there are orthopaedic surgeons who do bones. However, there are also General Surgeons who may do breast surgery or bowel surgery or even remove skin growths. On the other hand, there are surgeons who only do breast surgery or bowel surgery (they are probably the best ones to choose) and dermatologists, who are NOT surgeons, can do some minor surgery on skin growths (as can some GPs now). Generally it’s probably best to choose one who specialises more but, on the other hand, some general surgeons are truly excellent. Obviously, however, there are limits to what they can do. A general surgeon could not, for example, do a heart operation as that is so specialised nor an eye operation, for the same reason.
Is that what you meant?

Logic
I think being adult and able to say the back of my head was agony was of great help, and also it was daytime.
But all small children must be hell to diagnose with anything, especially babies because all they can do is cry, which isn’t especially helpful for anyone from child to mum to doctor.
But to a sharp point the NHS does need money, and doctors need sleep too, and nurses should be able to nurse,not dish up food, and proper cleaning and laundry services employed. i could rant on forever, but when I have need medical help I haven’t been failed at all.
We do have rants about this in the forums, which is probably the better place…….

Ferdinand,
If your reasoning is right, how do you explain that almost all cultures in the world take great care of little children and see that they aren’t left alone. Most legislations in the world where human rights are respected say it is an offence to leave them on their own. Whereas I don’t know of any legislation that forbids you to take your children on a journey with you, (provided their safety belt is on when recommended) ?
Do you really think that all those countries are stupid and that they should stop you from going on a journey with your child instead of stopping you from leaving him on his/her own at night in an unlocked apartment?
Here the statistics show that contrary to what people think, most injuries happen at home, and some very serious ones too (to grown ups as well as children).
Another thing, here in the south of France where there is a huge number of private swimming-pools, every summer a rather frightful number of children get drowned, mostly toddlers who can drown themselves in one inch high of water, as they panick once they have started breathing water in. We are constantly told to be specially careful when there is a swimming pool around, however shallow it may be.

no brekking knews today?
there was a good deal of anxiety over action taken on the rogatory letters, but eurojust would have no interest in delivering them to the UK government contact. the rogatory letters would also either be marked urgent or a deadline stipulated, which would influence when the UK govt would be required to respond to the request. the important thing here is that eurojust has confirmed (through its Press Officer) that the letters have been received…according to Correio da Manha.
i’m not sweating about it.

I am very glad to hear you received such excellent treatment. I have said in my other posts that if it an absolute emergency, such as a heart attack (or of course meningitis), you are rushed through and I am so glad that happened to you. However, especially with regard to meningitis (and of course bacterial meningitis is, as you know, the very dangerous form), often first line care, ie. the GP, is woefully inadequate and people, often children, are not referred to hospital straightaway and some die as a result. Quite often people go straight to A&E and are still sent home, only to be readmitted very much sicker when the rash appears. There is then much less hope of a complete recovery. This happened with a child I knew of about 10 years ago - she survived but had both legs and hands amputated when meningococcal septicaemia developed.
I hope you are now fully recovered - what a frightening experience!

It’s possible his secretary logs on from time to time but I doubt it. There’s probably Portugese anoraks who have better insider knowledge.
