A nurse who works at a private hospital in Mersin, a city and province on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, has told Turkish authorities and Parliament that she is sick and tired of treating members of the terrorist organization the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which now calls itself the "Islamic State."
The nurse, who was identified only by her initials, E.G., in a news story published by the Taraf daily on Wednesday, said of ISIL militants: “We treat them, and they go on to decapitate people. I am sick of treating wounded ISIL militants.” E.G. has also written a letter to Parliament and the National Police Department, saying she and her colleagues are extremely disturbed by the fact that they have to treat people “who chop off heads.”
Taraf reported that other health workers in Mersin and other provinces close to the Syrian border are uneasy about having to help wounded ISIL militants, who are responsible for extreme violence and bloodshed in northern Iraq and Syria.
In the letter she wrote to Parliament and the Police Department, E.G. said she has been employed at a private hospital in Mersin for a long time. She said her hospital has treated many wounded Syrians so far, who have introduced themselves as “opposition members.”

Is not treating them a real option morally...

Or, oops! Did I forget to clear the air out of that syringe? Sorry, my bad.
Covered under Obamacare or NATOcare? Holder might prosecute that nurse.
I was going to say - can someone give the poor woman a couple hundred extra strong doses of sodium pentobarbital so she can actually do something to save lives? She would be helping tens of thousands of people in Syria and Iraq.
A little anectine could go a long way in preventing future decapitations.
Stolen oil and robbed banks. There is plenty of cash floating around ISIS

One of the comments from the source on the article.
Notice how the responder says that free health care should be available for all, even the beheaders, and it should be FREE! Paid for by you and me.
Yes, liberalism is a mental disorder.
