The transcript is on the court docket and does not allow cut and paste. It can be seared on Duval County court of clerks, but I will transcribe it exactly here:

Cross Examination:
By Mr. McCarthy:
Q. Thank you, your honor. Briefly, Dr. Balbona, you mentioned you were board certified, but you are no longer board certified, is that correct?

A. I am in solo practice. I have no need for it.

Q. And what were you board certified in?

A. Internal Medicine

Q. And what years were you board certified?

A. I was first board certified in 1993, again in 19 — or 2013 — 2000 —

Q. 2003 you mean?

A. Yeah, 2003. I think it lapsed in 2013. I then later got another Board of physicians and sugeons [this is an unrecognized board]. I’m competent, I’m experienced. My patients know that. There is just no legitimate reason for me to continue doing that. It’s not done anywhere else in the world. It’s just a private corporation that wants to extort money out of a physician. They are welcome to —

Q. Let me — I just want to make sure I understand. You were board certified in internal medicine. You allowed it to lapse in 2013. Then you referenced something about board certified in National Surgeon. What is —

A. There’s a revolt by many physicians, experienced, academic physicians saying why are we paying tens of thousands of dollars to a for - profit corporation to tell us that we are competent physicians? We should be able to do this on our own, and they established an alternative.

Q. So that’s not an official board certification that you are referencing, is it?

A. No, it is, sure

Q. All right, then who are you — are you board certified currently

A. I am not.

Q. By anyone?

A. No. That is my choice.

This is a verbatim copy of the transcript. I believe that you can register with clerk of court to look at the complete transcript.

Board certifications come from a national certifying board. In his case it would be the ABIM. The Maintancence of certification required testing and yearly life long learning as all board certificates are now time limited. According to his testimony he has allowed his board to lapse, and presents no evidence of CME or other training for the last 20 years.

Make what you want of it — but he is NOT board certified, he can present no credentials of the same, and present no credentials of ongoing continuing medical education.

The transcript also delves deeply in to the medical studies that is eye opening. In my judgment, it is the single most comprehensive look at the evidence as understood by medical personnel under oath.

With all of the many studies available showing the efficacy of ivermectin against this virus, these docs are not: honest, sensible or bright. Take your choice.

My cardiologist is an extremely talented plumber. I ignore what he says about the death shot. Not in his area of expertise. Schmooze him in case the drains need worked on.

You’d be surprised to learn there are some nurses sneaking it in as well.

RE: This is a verbatim copy of the transcript. I believe that you can register with clerk of court to look at the complete transcript.

From the cross examination that you presented, it only tells us that he let his board certification lapse, not that he is incompetent to practice medicine. In fact, it tells us that he was certified before but refuses to do so again after the certification lapsed.

Apparently, Balbona’s refusal to get recertification seems to be because he refuses to pay money ( he calls it extortion. I don’t know how expensive it is to recertify and how many more exams one has to take. He seems to be saying it costs tens of thousands just to do that).

Let me ask you this... is it necessary to be board certified in Florida to be allowed to practice medicine? Is there a state law?

If it is, then yes, he’s breaking the law. If it isn’t, I don’t see why we should question his ability or competence to practice medicine.

No physician is required to carry boards, however many insurance companies require it. He represents himself as boarded, but there is no recognized board that grants him is certification. Board certification requires extensive ongoing life long learning, and given that he demonstrates no such CME since 2003 it is difficult to imagine he is current

I suppose what bothers me most is that he obfuscates and this calls into question his motives. If you skirt your way around stating you are boarded when you know damn well you are not — it becomes an integrity and knowledge question

What he represents of himself is false, and according to many of my colleagues down there — Florida takes a very dim view of such fraudulent representation — I expect he will see an appearance before the Florida board based on my understanding of the issue — and th aboard will likely take him to task for being shady.

and the Gold standard doctrine: the Holy Trinity (which was the hardest one for me initially).

Ahh, that's it. 1700 years of codified doctrine out of expertly curated "proof texts" could not ever possibly be wrong. /s

Refuse to believe that one and be labeled an heretic for sure, destroyer of "the faith", one deserving of eviction from any respectable denomination, or what have you.

It's a real religion to most folks. It'd be a miracle to ever get though behind enemy lines, like family members who manage to sneak unauthorized Rxs or the equivalent in horsey paste to their loved ones in the hospitals.

I'm only replying to your comment as the subject relates, even as this woman did what she could to save her husband's life instead of accepting the rules of the institution and going casket shopping.

The grand irony is that as the very head of the Church, the Messiah is a fine Christian man, and that if he believed in the settle doctrines he'd never recognize himself. Imagine if he didn't have a sense of humor about the whole thing. A man with any ego at all wouldn't be able to take that kind of surprise, lol.

Ingenious way for God to sneak him right into town in plain sight without anyone ever suspecting. Like how Kelly got those Shermans moved into position behind the three Tigers.

Love it. Funny how it's the movies that are real. No wonder Joseph was hated for his dreams. Video clips and scripts available online. I can say weird stuff and take the hits because it's a great view from here. I'll be vindicated. :)

A "private enterprise operation" for the win. A peculiar people-- bunch of Can-Do oddballs who don't play the odds. On and on. The self-righteous, casket-selling America-deniers are sure going to wish they found something nice to say.

Florida families of severely ill COVID-19 patients are flocking to Dr. Eduardo Balbona...

Now God seen some sinnin' and it gave Him pain
And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain"
He says, "Hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do--
Build me a floating zoo"

"And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese..."

The Irish Rovers - The Unicorn Song

As long as I'm at it, don't believe that story about the unicorn being long dead. That's what everyone assumed and assumes about Joseph. Arrg, don't folks ever learn?

Unicorns are "code" for Joseph.

The dark side never learns. Rumors swirl about the arrival of a Deliverer, so what does it do? Stakes out the delivery rooms for... the deliveries.

It's like that. By the time evil forces might briefly catch on, he's moved on because of policies they themselves enacted.

This is the one plot line for the ages.

People are going to respect the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the living.

We've lost two Temples already. I'm not sticking around and losing a third! ~ Big Joe

God Bless America

The way I understand it is :

1) You need a Medical Education and Licensure

I believe Balbona has this. This is what he presents:

MEDICAL SCHOOL
Medical College Of Georgia At Georgia Regents University
Graduated 1990

2) Residency/Fellowship

Balbona says that he had his residency at United States Naval Medical Center.

3) ABMS Board Certification : Upon successfully completing a rigorous exam, physicians and medical specialists receive specialty certification

He has to have this otherwise, he would not be even allowed to practice in Florida, much less be affiliated with hospitals ( two of which he has affiliations to. For example St. Vincents Medical Center ).

4) Continuing Certification

I believe he had ( past tense ) this, but allowed it to lapse. His objection being the expense. He claims it costs tens of thousands just to maintain this certification.

All of the above can be easily checked by calling up the medical schools that he attended and trained in, checking the address of his practice ( 2257 Oak St, Jacksonville, FL, 32204 ), and checking the hospitals he claims to be affiliated with.

My question is this — DO YOU Need Item #4 to be allowed to practice?

If the answer is no, he hasn’t broken the law.

Now, is he a good physician who heals his patients despite a lapsed certification?

The only people who can answer that are his patients. Does he still have patients seeing him? If so, then obviously he must be doing something good. I see from his profile that a whole heap of insurance companies cover his services:

https://doctor.webmd.com/doctor/eduardo-balbona-efdd1a54-f9f5-4c6d-89c2-0a66ff36f6f1-insurance

Has he been sued for malpractice? I don’t know. Do you?

So, if he has not broken the law, the question then becomes, is the claim that his patient to which he prescribed Ivermectin and had to sneak in Ivermectin to help her husband recover true? Is this a true story or a false one?

If true, and continuing certification is NOT a requirement to practice, then that issue is beside the point. The important thing is he is curing his patients and this particular family is one of them.

thanks for the interesting reply!

i’ll start praying immediately for all good smugglers of the Gospel past the expert gate keepers of doctrine.

“proof texts” lol. the sine qua non of the “expert” theologian. i wish they’d look at them more like disproof texts although i’m aware of the ancient medieval pitfall of ending up with nothing to show for all your “work.” :<.

funny you mention “respectable denominations.” i ended up finding my local home with the charismatics in a non-denominational house church, which later joined the Assemblies of God. (known frequently by the respectable as the “snake handlers.”) but, praise God, as soon as i was with them, i had my last piece of the Trinity firmly in place! :). thank the Father for gift of the Body and the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank God for the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. cheers and all blessings always!

Dr. Bruce Boros, a Key West Cardiologist, had been taking Ivermectin for 16 months, then contracted Covid-19.

It's the typical gassie 'shoot the messenger' gambit. While you do the monkey dance of blathering about 'boards', you don't question his competence. Because you can't.

Your shtick is getting old, gassie.

Here, I'll update your boards for you and all for free. Write this down....

Vax = Bad.

Ivermectin = Good.

First you are hardly a professor
Second it goes to the credibility. He claims he is something he is not.
Third maintenance of certification requires a high level of continuing medical education. You know, keeping knowledge updated

This guy got shredded on cross. The studies were scrutinized snd he had to admit exactly what we all know. The ivermectin results are equivocal. You are suffering from selective study syndrome. You are only willing to consider what supports your point without analysis or critique of the actual study.

You ignore in vivo vs in vitro. You ignore observational vs randomized. You ignore that one of the early and most supportive study was withdrawn for plagiarism and invalid technique

Believe what you want but you are not discerning what the actual truth is.

First you are hardly a professor.

Professor Rufus T. Bagster, PHD University of Life emeritus and a highly respected academic mind, one you would do well to sit at the knee of and learn your craft.

Second it goes to the credibility.

No it doesn't.

This guy got shredded on cross.

No he didn't (as if it matters).

A real doctor who is actually board certified.

You've got to stop taking your boards off the back of comic books. Your 'ongoing education' has failed if you can't follow the science of ivermectin the miracle drug and covid cure.

Talk to you later, pal. I gotta go see a real doctor now. Good luck with your diversionary tactics.
