Muslim women working at U.K. medical facilities are increasingly refusing to comply with the basic hygiene standard of rolling up their sleeves when their washing hands, it was reported. According to the U.K.'s Daily Telegraph, female workers are ignoring Britain's Department of Health rules requiring medics to be "bare below the elbow" because they consider showing any skin outside the hands and face immodest. The guidelines were put into place to stave off the spread of infectious killer bugs like MRSA and Clostridium difficile, which have been implicated in the deaths of hundreds of hospital patients, according to the paper. Hygiene experts said the standard should hold for all workers even if it goes against their religion. "I don't think it would be right to make an exemption for people on any grounds. The policy of bare below the elbows has to be applied universally," Dr. Mark Enright, professor of microbiology at Imperial College London told the Telegraph. Some fear the enforcing the rules will open the door to lawsuits charging discrimination against female Muslims working within the medical professions. The Islamic Medical Association, for one, has issued a statement that "no practicing Muslim woman doctor, medical student, nurse or patient should be forced to bare her arms below the elbow," according to paper.

If some infidel or some Muslim woman gets sick because a female, Muslim doctor or nurse refused to wash her forearms, it won’t matter because, after all, only Muslim males matter and they aren’t going to let themselves be treated by “impure” women.
They gave us “zero”...

Actually, I seem to recall reading that they even got that from some group they conquered, but I can’t remember who.
It won’t be long before acquiring hospital infections is classed as Islamophobia, or even racism.
Then I will exercise my right to refuse treatment from an unclean (enter your own expression hear) and will sue them for being unclean and spreading their germs within the hospital environment.
Its not quite that bad. If, say, you say you want an English doctor (and there are still some, if you search really hard) they will generally just tell you you will have to wait, in the knowledge that you will never get one. Though some receptionists may report you, I doubt the law could touch you, even in England. Of course, if you are a Muslim, you can ask for a Muslim Doctor, no questions asked.
The Asian doctors will also generally spend much more time treating Asian patients than English ones, whom they hate. Many of the Asian Doctors are Muslim, but most are not.
With socialized medicine, the government medical system is forced to take in foreign workers because of the shortage of professionals.
would someone please explain to Muslims that the sexy part of the body is the FACE especially the EYES and MOUTH, and the hands are pretty sexy too! Arms are a dime a dozen.
well this sounds rather darwinian
The Islamic Medical Association is just doing what Mohamed advocates, by spreading super bugs for Jihad, in order to kill infidels.
