Belgian Doctor Refuses to Treat Elderly Jewish Woman
INN ^ | 7/31/2014, 4:25 PM

A Flemish doctor who manned a medical hotline Wednesday night refused to provide help to a 90-year-old Jewish woman, Bertha Klein, who had suffered a fractured rib. “I’m not coming!” he said. “Send her to Gaza for a few hours, and she will not feel the pain anymore,’ was the reply.

The doctor confirmed the exchange, and said that he had spoken the way he did out of “emotional frenzy.” The Health Ministry is investigating the matter, according to Joods Actueel (Jewish News).

Klein’s son had been the one to call the hotline. His mother was in agonizing pain after she had suffered a fractured rib. The doctor reportedly knew very quickly that the patient was Jewish: her name, her son’s accent and her address in Antwerp, Belgium’s second-largest Jewish commmunity, betrayed all that. …

A little corrective hate needs to be directed toward the doctor. Maybe he could look for a new career scrubbing the gravestones in a Jewish cemetery.

The doctor admitted the facts and blamed "emotional frenzy.” Meanwhile, the grandson of the 90-year-old woman, Hershy Taffel, filed a complaint with the police for racism and xenophobia.

Wrong charge. It should be dereliction of duty or something along those lines.

The biggest fallacy that some humans fall for, is that humans are interchangeable, and that sharing a label with others causes you to share their guilt.

Anyone who thinks that way is an a$$hole.

This kind of thinking leads to the kind of action shown in the article, where one individual is made to suffer for the actions of others in a group that he is said to belong to.

Don’t put me in any group. I’m not a member of a group. I’m not responsible for anything done by people in the group that you want to put me in.

All groups are artificial. “White” “Black” etc. I’m an individual, and am solely responsible for my actions, not for the actions of other individuals.

So, the kids want to know all about Israel and this fighting

Struggling to figure out a simple answer, do I tell them Israel can’t fight back because then there will be anti semitism brought forth all over the western world

How embarrassing for western civilization

That’s not even civilized.

Won't work now. You've already been catalogued by a few groups.

Agreed. But I'm told the ride is going to get more than a little bumpy; hang on to what you know and believe.

When Reagan was being wheeled into GW Hospital after getting shot by Hinckley, he reportedly joked to one of the doctors “Are you a Republican?”

The doc replied “Today we’re all Republicans, Mr. President.”

Why? If they get that far, then it’s going to affect things far beyond Europe.

If the family had requested (legal in Belgium) euthanasia for the elderly woman, this doc would have been johnny-on-the-spot.

‘Fraid so.

I think God will be asking each of us to make a choice. Stand with Israel or against her.

I stand with Israel.

I put this through the Obamacare filter.....

sometime in the future:

A democrat doctor who manned a medical hotline Wednesday night refused to provide help to a 90-year-old conservative woman, Bertha Smith, who had suffered a fractured rib.
“I’m not helping her!” he said. “Send her to Detroit for a few hours, and she will not feel the pain anymore,’ was the reply.
