What in the world are you talking about? Noone who doesnt wash hands in a hospital would be allowed to work there for the time it takes for a lightning bolt to cross the sky.
Please, Im sure you have many good points to make, but dont make stuff up.
In England some Muslim women doctors and nurses are arguing for the right to keep their sleeves to their wrists. Other Muslims do not want to use alcohol gel.
In this country I’ve seen lots of personnel not wash their hands - from haste, not because they refuse or don’t know better.
Then we find recalcitrant female muslim medical students who snubbed hospital cleanliness procedures:
"Medics in hospitals in at least three major English cities have refused to follow the regulations aimed at helping tackle superbugs because of their faith, it has been revealed."
"But female Muslim students training in hospitals in England have refused to implement the directive because Islam forbids women exposing more than their hands and face in public." LINK
They have threatened to leave their studies if forced to comply - I say GOOD RIDDANCE!
No surprise that these female students were backed up by the Islamic Medical Association.
One hospital - whose adminstrator clearly still possesses a backbone - recently fired a female muslim radiographer who pulled the "don't want to roll up my sleeves" nonsense. (Didn't these people receive proper training in washing hands and cleanliness around patients when in training PRIOR to choosing a career in medicine?)
"The radiographer was told by managers at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading that she must either follow the national dress code designed to combat superbugs and roll her sleeves up, or leave. "
This woman - who supposedly feels so strongly about her religious beliefs - yet doesn't want to be identified - has vowed to campaign against the NHS's "bare below the elbows" policy.
"The woman, who did not want to be identified, said she wants to "prevent the policy from being universally applied, so other Muslim women do not experience the same trauma."
Something tells me she's a far less traumatised then the patient who is dying from MRSA infection complications. More likely than not she's looking for some financial compensation to assuage her "trauma".
Now comes a report that muslim doctors and nurses are refusing to use alcohol based gels to combat the fast spreading swine flu.
"Some Muslims have refused to use alcohol-based hand gels to combat the spread of swine flu because they claim it is against their religion."
Of course these dhimmified hospital officials - you know the people I mean - the ones who are supposed to oversee the medical staff and ensure the hygenic rules are being followed - after some teech-chattering, nail-biting and knee-knocking at the thought of offending muslims - have allowed muslim medical staff to use the far less effective non-alcohol based gels.
Clearly the attitude is "to hell with the patients - muslim sensitivities come first!"
It is interesting to note how the muslims exhibit a complete lack of concern about risks to patient's health and the spread of the superbugs when it suits muslim "religious" needs to avoid the rules of hygiene ----- yet will use 'concern' for patient's healthcare issues to justify the wearing of muslim clothing - in this case the hijab - while working in a surgical setting.
"Hospitals should allow Muslim women to wear a "theatre hijaab" in surgical environments, doctors have heard.....Ms Talukdar, 25, said the hijaab would be made from sterile material so it was completely risk-free to the patient. "We are very aware that MRSA and infection is a concern. We do not want to put patients at risk.""
