Dominican doctor McLean Romain has taken up a position at the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital in southern Kentucky.
Dr. Romain is from humble beginnings. He grew up in the tiny community of Morne-a-Louis, near Tan Tan on the northern part of the island.
He was a mathematics and science teacher at the Portsmouth Secondary School before he decided to go into the medical field.
He is a Summa cum Laude graduate of the University of the Southern Caribbean and he earned his medical degree from the Ross University School of Medicine in Portsmouth.
He recently completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Dr. Romain said he looks forward to taking care of patients at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital.
He is the son of Angel Seaman and Mathew Romain (deceased).
He was the best math teacher! such a great person
Congrats Mc Lean boy I could not have been more happy for u as I am . Hold tight my boy
OMG! its Mr Romain. congrats
congratulations daddy i wish you all the best. we love u very much.from your daughter saydee and mom.happy face
Thanks coz you make me proud to be a morne-a-louisan.You are my hero. Good job
You make me proud cuz.Thanks. Morne-a-louis loves you.
I do congratulate him and wish him well. However, I wonder why did he not remain in Dominica, considering that Dominica is in need of good doctors. I hope that he pursues his career to a higher level and someday he could return to help Dominica. Dominica presently needs specialized doctors and will need them in the future.
I understood that Dominica does not have a resident pathologist and that when people die they have to wait a few weeks for one to travel to Dominica to perform the autopsy. This wait is no doubt costly to their family.
The government could counsel those men who are studying medicine and those who are medical doctors to further their studies in this area.
The authorities are concerned about tourism and as others are concerned about an international airport. The health of nationals are more important including obtaining a resident pathologist.
Congrats. He is handsome; I’ll date him.
DNO, please could you revise some of these comments before they’re posted? I can’t believe that some of our people are so ignorant, small minded, pathetic and lack any common sense .You would think that our people would be proud of a young man for his achievements . I know Mcclean worked hard to be where he is. I remember him as a very focused, driven and dedicated young man at my former high school.I tip my hat off to you.Congratulations to you and much success. You have made your family ,parents , friends ,community and former teachers proud .Well done and continue your hard work. forget the naysayers. Tiny you are an you have the right name. You are truly tiny . where are your achievements? your brain must be very tiny. stick to your name tiny.
ADMIN: You want us to revise other people’s comments, yet you are using inappropriate language in yours which we had to edit out? So how different are you from the other posters who you claim to be ignorant, small minded, pathetic and lack common sense?
LOL@ Admin. My sentiment exactly!
Proud of you Rome. Was always a real cool maths teacher at pss and a good friend as well
Congrats cuz
Don’t get me wrong, congratulations to the young man and thumbs up for giving Dominica more exposure, BUT what exactly is the “post” he got. There are many other dominican doctors out there who have “posts” and they never made it on DNO. What’s so special about his?
Please don’t take it the wrong way people, I’m not trying to be negative.
Good vibes but what position is dat he took up?
I am still trying to figure out what position he took up? Nevertheless congratulations to you Sir
Whatever he specialised in that’s where his position is going to be in. You think this is D/A where you have one DR. doing everything andd nothing.
Dr Romain I remember you were my walking partner from Morne-A-Louis to Bell Hall every morning and you did tell me you wanted to do something more than teaching, you had a dream and your dream came through congratulation once again DR Romaim you put Morne-A-Louis on the map.
Congratulations from a Dominican living on St. Croix. I am so proud to see that. My origins are also from the North. I am so humbled when I read stories like this. I know that Possie will become the megacenter for Dominica, if we continue to educate our children and keep the place crime free. Together we can, All the best!
congrats McLean… did everyone proud i know u didn’t have it easy but the ends justifies the means…good luck and all the best
Currently they First Dominican Hospitalist congratulations
Congratulations doc! You deserve this but please bear in mind that we only have one internist in dominica: Retired Dr. Grell
Please come and help us: can you imagine a our General hospitals withought any internists? Well, that’s how they are, withought any.
CONGRATS AGAIN, AND I KNOW THAT YOU DESERVE THIS.
Congratulations Dr. Romain
MR ROMAIN ON THE GO WII BOY. NOW IS DR ROMAIN. CONGRATS BRO. ALL THE BEST. (FREAKY MAN)
Hey McClean,
The Victor family is so proud of you. We remember the struggling days. We also recall your determination and drive. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. You have made your mum, sibblings and deceased dad proud. By extension, you’ve also made the North proud. Remember your origins, if only to keep you focused. Even more so, remember your bro Marcus. I’m equally proud of him for his role in your achievements. I say let the sky be your limit my couz… you can be Dominica’s Ben Carson.
Dr. Romain Congratulations to you on your Achievement.
Congratulations Dr Romain. We the people of the Cottage area, especially your relatives are so proud of you. Your dedication and perseverance tells you will make a great doctor, one who really cares about his patients.
Yay another one!!
CONGRATULATIONS CUZ SO PROUD OF U !!!
Growing up, I always saw you an intelligent Being…Congratulations! Continue reaching for the Skies
congrats Dr. Romain.
More blessings to you Dr Romain!!!!
congrats my boy keep it up
Congratulations Dominican. I don’t know you in person, but may Father God continue to excel you. Hard work certainly pays off.
DNO, I applaud you for equally giving attention to the good and the bad, even if some don’t appreciate the “good”. This is in sharp contrast to what was being reported in the recent past- it was incessantly bad news so this is quite refreshing. Congratulations to you again DR. Romain.
Keep them coming DNO!
DNO I will do some research and get more of these for you guys – I think everyone should be recognized for their hard work.
Would be great if they either came to Dominica or remained in Dominica and helped their people with their expertise.
The head of DA is the North. Simple as 1, 2, 3.
Capuchin, Clifton, Cottage, Toucarie, Morne-a-Louis down to Possie; we aint making joke boyyy.
Congrats Romain….all the best!
A vast majority of Educated Dominicans are living abroad. I’m happy to see that they are all doing so well. If they had to return to Dominica opportunities such as these would rarely present themselves.
Congrats and good luck in your future.
that’s what we call brain drain!
@ anonymous!!
You are correct. Sadly, throughout the years Dominica has had a brain drain. Some of us did not have leave and would have been better off in our island except the opportunity was there and we embraced the opportunity.
The way the world is at present, I hope that the younger ones today will decide to remain in DA and build it up. Furthermore, DA now has college and university. There is no need for them to leave. There is no place like home.
Congratulations Dr. Romain. Wishing you all the best in your new position. Thanks once again for being one of the best mathematics teachers that PSS has ever had.
May the blessings continue to flow.
Congratulations Bro, you have shown Dominicans that Ross University is not only for foreigners. More Dominican should take advantage of the opportunity.
Congrats bro….i’m really proud of you.
Congratulations sir,one of pss best
Fine looking doctor right there! All the best!
As I scrolled down I was about to say that I was rather surprise to see only congratulations.. until i read further. There is always a reason for someone to try to rain on someone else’s parade. A simple congratulations would suffice or don’t say anything at all. I think DNO should actively see out Dominicans accomplishments and post as much as they possibly can.
Congrats Doc!! We celebrate with you.
@ Citizen K
Some of us are not really negative. They do wish him well. We are fully aware that Dominica is in dire need of doctors, dedicated ones with their expertise. This is the reason why there may be what you assume are negative comments but they are not really negative but realistic ones including mine.
Congratulation is in order Mc’Lean, I remember your days at Ross, I am sure it was not all easy, but you pulled throught nicely and today the fruits of your hard labour are begining to nourish other.
I called Marcus on your behalf as well, because I know he too played a pivotal role in ensuring the transition at Ross was a smooth one.
Big up to you my bro, and wish you much more sucess in your endevours!!!
Congratulations, Doc! I just love good, inspiring and uplifting news
I trust that you will be an inspiration to the younger generation. Giod knows they need more good role models besides rappers and ball players.
Folks seem to always want to read depressing news and gossip, but when it comes to the accomplishments of one of our own, we say its not news worthy. Small minds, genrate simple comments.
Congrats Sir
I wish you all the best in your achievements. you were my maths teacher and always a humble person.. May you strive for the sky . there is a thing saying the sky is the limit but i still feel you can go way beyond that, Always remember to put god first and put him in all what you do.
once again congrats Mr. Romain
Congrats to you Mc Lean, you are so humble you will do great things. Congrats to Marcus too,you are the best bro a guy could have. Dr Romain take care of yourself and your family and dont get caught up in all the glamour, step by step you will get there, keep shining.
hey mr romain congrats always knew u were bound for great things
Congratulations Dr Romain. All the best!
Yes I mc.lean. U taught me Maths at PSS and was always dedicated in what you did. You were a great teacher. Proud of you and congrats.
Congratulations Dr. McLean. I can remember you using the library while you were studying at Ross. More to come.
Tiny, is that the size of your feet or your brain?
He was my teacher at P.S.S. Congrats!
Congrats Mr. Romain….you were always a dedicated teacher and I see it paid off in your studies. Keep striving for the best and remain dedicated as always.
Wow! McClean, I’m so proud of you!
congrats to you mcclean……… today is payday so me and ur bro gonna drink a beer on your head….. take care of your self
We say one thing but do the other. Congratulations DR. what is good for the goose is good for the gander. D.N.O. we need you all to give equal coverage once it does not breach, “your Policy”. but sadly there is a double standard. Need i say more? just look at your record. Now post that!!!!
Are you not proud of a young man of the soil make it to be a medical doctor?
I cannot understand your comment.
why it always have someone to spoil a good thing?
CONGRATULATIONS to Dr.Romain
I
wonder if you understand my post? Not your fault.
Congratulations to my brother McLean. We are very proud of your achievement Bro. You are proof that hard work and determination pays off.
Yes i Dr.Mcclean boy your bro Macco jumping boy…
thumbs up ladies if you think he’s hot
I’m so proud of you Mc Clean. Congrats
possie again
wow both his parents are dead?..did they have him in their old age?
and why report this? finish his residency?n that’s what doctors do
I think admin should delete this comment you are nothing but a …… for putting that up
That is tiny. Laugh it off as I did. Why bother to get angry with him? It is a waste of time. We know what he/she is like. Sounds like a man.
Tiny only his father is dead. His mother is alive and well.
ok..my bad……….men are usually the first to go
Only his father is deceased, and NO they did not have him in their old age. And even if they did? What’s the point and what business is it to you? You and your Tiny mind well matched.
i was thinking the same thing this is not news!any Yes sire u the …. for not respecting this guys opinion!
Tiny, what are your achievements? Papamet! How people can be sooooo jealous I just don’t understand! I suspect u need to find yourself something constructive to do we pal cause ure criticism just aint cutting it! Mayb we will feature u next.
I LOVE YOUR COMMENT TO TINY AND TINY IS GETTING WHAT TINY WANTED, “NOTICING”
No wonder tiny is never featured. Tiny’s achievements are below standard. Can’t even comprehend simple english. Hey tiny guess what, you are only good at commenting on news reported. On dno. Why don’t you take some time off your job on dno and do a crash course in english comprehension
YOU REALLY GOT A TINY BRAIN,YOUR NAME SAYS IT ALL.
Tiny I do not think you are from the nature isle. 99% of your comments are negative. This last one is just so DUMB.I wish there was a way for DNO not to post these DUMB posts like yours online. What does it matter weather both of his parents are dead…people like you want me to stop reading the news on DNO..
Da citizen
We do not know each other. I must be fair. You call Tiny names. Recently I got a lot of flack in a worst way for standing up for my Catholic faith from those who do not know anything about it and/or those who renounced this faith. It was shocking to me that there were so many Dminican Catholic haters and bashers worldwide as they projected on this Website.
Tiny’s comment is not half or even a quarter as bad than those who spoke ill of the Mother of their God, King, Savior and Just Judge. They lack godly mortal and spiritual enlightenment. God heard them and took note. They will not escape His just recompense. I deduce that some of his comments, if not all of them are made in jest. We must be broadminded to know this.
You fool, read before you post and stop bursting other people’s bubble.
wow…again the ignorance of some fool..he did accomplish his dream….what have you to show………. . …..Congratulations doc…much success to u..
hater! if you dont something nice to say dont say anything at all, may i remind you that he is a dr, what are you?….. hater
Tiny ,you are nothing but an illiterate fool.Do people only die of old age?The height of your stupidity.So just because his parents are dead they had him in their old age.You left school in kindergarten man.they never said both parents were dead anyway.Your comprehension skills are as poor as hell.You are urgently in need of help.
Congratulations doc, love to hear when our people are doing well.
WOYYY congrats ROMES,the lord has done great things, glory is his name; proud of you cuz
