German GP bans 'Allied' patients
Ananova ^ | March 31, 2003

A German doctor is protesting against the war by banning British and American patients.

Lawyers in Schleswig Holstein are now checking whether Dr Eberhard Hoffmann's ban is legal.

Dr Hoffmann defended his decision and told German media: "I don't care what they do to me, I refuse to admit British or American citizens into my practice. They are banned like all proponents of war."

The German doctors' association refused to comment on the case saying they do not want to affect the investigation being carried out by public prosecutors.

Violation of Hippocratic Oath, most assuredly.

He probably did his residency at one of the death camps in Germany!

If I fulfill this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.

We'll see what we can do.

Didn't they do the same thing against Jews around 1935?

One of the biggest peaceniks I've ever known was my daughter's pediatrician, a German doctor who got his start as a medic in Hitler's army posted on the Russian front.

The medics treating Iraqi enemy casualties under fire will be glad to learn of this fellow's "conscience."

He's just mad because they wouldn't let him perform gruesome experiments on them.

Hmmm, I'm confused. I figured German doctors would want to conduct lots of unneccessay surgical procedures on Americans.

Who would want a German, French or Russian doctor treating them before this war?

""I don't care what they do to me, I refuse to admit British or American citizens into my practice."
