Wow, I hadn't heard this one. Not reported in any of our papers as far as I've seen, and I can understand why...
Blekinge and Skåne (Scania) are the two districts in southern Sweden with most TROP immigrants and also the districts were the anti-immigrant party the Swedish Democrats (SD) had their best result in the last election. (In Blekinge you also have one of, I think, two places in Sweden where the neo-nazis have gained places on the local council.)
You can understand what a story like this will do for the SD and why our MSM and other parties will do their best to hide this story.
It will be very interesting to follow how the Medical Board will handle this. Verrry interrresting. The codes are quite clear in a case like this, but, but....
To my American friends I can only apologize and hope this will never ever happen to anyone visiting Sweden. Unfortunately, I fear it will, I even fear that this will soon happen to Swedish people, predominantly those with Jewish sounding surnames.
But it is no good just wringing ones hands. I will first of all check if there has been a report to the Medical Board. And then a phone-call to one or two journalists...

Wonder if they're having rape problems as Norway reported a couple of weeks ago. The succinct answer: Yes

Hmm...if our Palestinian doctor does this to Americans one wonders what he's doing to Swedes he doesn't like.

The husband should have whipped his ass right then and there.

Everyone that is American for miles around that office should make appointments, go and be refused, just to take up time and space....and his money. She had to pay in advance of him seeing her (but the money was refunded), so a better option would be to just make appointments and cancel at the last minute saying you just heard they have a Pali doc that doesn't like Americans

I agree, if this were reversed and the Dr. was an expat in Sweden who turned away a Palestinian there'd be a riot someplace.

Just wait until this doctor realizes that most of the Swedes he treats are infidels!

Just read the local rag - Blekingeläns tidning. The story has made their web-page, but of course without naming the nationality of the doctor - or even the fact that he isn't Swedish. In the comments section there are already questions about this. "Wonder if he is from Iraq" etc.
I sent a reply but the comments are edited so not much chance of that slipping through.

"repaid the 820 kronor that Johansson had handed over in advance"
How much is that is U.S. dollars?

I tried a few weeks ago to submit a comment to a story in Expressen.
No, I did not get past the censorship ;-)
Cheers.

Just the Palestinian Swedes who happen to be doctors.

Google up an article called "While Sweden Slept", in the New York Sun. Here are a couple of passages:
In Sweden, whose murder rate is currently twice that of America and where Muslims now constitute over 10% of the population and are disproportionately unemployed and prone to violence, the Swedish press routinely depicts America as crime-ridden.
As for America, the official view was neatly captured in a post-September 11 editorial in the nation's largest newspaper, Aftonbladet, which assured readers that the terrorists who attacked New York and Washington weren't Sweden's enemies but simply hated " U.S. imperialism," a reasonable position given that "the U.S. is the greatest mass murderer of our time." Such views, taught in Sweden's classrooms and enshrined in Sweden's state-approved schoolbooks, are reiterated daily by Sweden's mainstream press organizations, all of which are either government-owned or government-subsidized.

Wrong was I - holiday time so no real censors around. The comment made it in. Now let's see if it will be noted.

Did she have strep throat?
That infection is very contagious and can lead to scarlet fever and rheumatic fever (therefore, to heart damage and fatalities). If she did have strep, the doctor should face serious consequences for his malpractice.
This is a good reminder of how the Jews were treated in the ramp-up to and through WW2 (and throughout history, in some places).
