Muslim husband assaults French gynecologist
AFP via The Tocqueville Connection ^ | 10/21/2006

PARIS, Oct 21, 2006 (AFP) - The agency in charge of Paris-region hospitals on Saturday confirmed that the husband of a Muslim woman examined by a male gynecologist had physically attacked the doctor, but refused to confirm allegations that the assault was motivated by religious extremism.

The AP-HP hospital agency said it had taken legal proceedings against the husband for an incident that occurred on the night of September 8 in the emergency service of an unnamed Paris hospital.

However the agency refused to endorse a statement by the professional association of French gynecologists and obstetricians, who described the assault as a manifestation of "Muslim fundamentalism."

The statement by the CNGOF professional association mentioned a similar incident that occurred in a Paris-region hospital in 2003.

In both attacks, gynecologists were "physically attacked and injured by the husbands of patients on the grounds that as male doctors they should not examine their wives," the statement said.

However the hospital authorities said they had "not at this stage confirmed any religious motivation" behind the latest incident.

French Health Minister Xavier Bertrand on Friday condemned the September incident, but also said he could not confirm that it was related to "religious or cultural motives."

"Hospitals must remain absolutely neutral from the religious and ideological point of view," he said.

The hospital agency said that a total of 185 violent incidents had been recorded in the 38 Paris-region public hospitals in 2005, up from 145 in the previous year.

However the hospital authorities did not record whether there was any religious motive to any of the attacks, because "such records would be discriminatory, and we have a neutral position," the statement said.

In their statement the gynecologists and obstetricians made a link between the case and a recent high-profile incident in which a French schoolteacher received death threats after publishing a virulent anti-Islamic article in a national paper.

"Are male gynecologists and obstetricians going to have to be protected by the police from now on when they do their job?" the statement asked. "Will they have to go into hiding like philosophy teachers?"

They're so obsessed with sex and assume that everyone else is, too

I couldn't agree more.

Statements like this from any French authority would be more believable if the French didn't instantaneously ascribe bad motives to anyone who is actually trying to deal with the muslim/terrorist problem.

Since the Muslim wife allowed the doctor to examine her the husband should have taken out his anger at her.

But than again, he probably did.

Considering the husband has probably never seen his wife's private area I'd think it would have been a learning experience for him.

The other day I had to have a full body exam by my dermitologist and my husband was there (at my request) and I asked the resident to leave the room

Good grief.

"Hospitals must remain absolutely neutral from the religious and ideological point of view," he said. "Hospitals must remain absolutely neutral from the religious and ideological point of view," he said.

I didn't realize that assault and battery with intent to do bodily injury was a tenent of the peaceful religion. Missed that somewhere along the way.

This is where political correctness takes you. The French government is intimidated to inaction by fear of reprisal of an unassimmilated moslem minority. The French,...they will never change.

I'm sure since this woman was examined she's dead now anyway at the hands of her lunatic husband.


"Think about a culture where the man would rather have his wife die than get examined by a doctor."

Here's an odd observation: France recently (last year I think?) threatened terrorists with nukes. For some reason they have had an upsurge in Islamic extremist activity domestically, yet made that threat. I found it stunning.

and I asked the resident to leave the room.

Great way to promote the next generation of doctors.


So while you were cooling your heels outside the room, did you have a cup o' coffee, a smoke, or both? ;)

I guess that the doctors did not have access to a large mirror.

Why did he attack the doctor? Couldn't he just have had the $lut stoned?

Let me try to understand what's going on.
1.Muslim men oppose women ever getting an education but,
2.They only want a female doctor to examine their wives.
3.Therefore,we need to send them ALL back to whatever backward cesspool country of their origin so they can work out their culture mess-and we are not forced to watch.

I see a resident or an intern as a doctor in the rough. They NEED the experience --and they will very soon be practicing doctors-- or they would not have come that far already!

I am thinking the same thing. They are obsessed with this nonsense and they think we all are. I got over my modesty at the doctor's office many years ago, as I lay there in stirrups, on the delivery table, waiting for my baby to be born. I didn't care who was there, nurse, doctor, male, female... I just wanted my baby to be born healthy. And there I was spread eagle, in the stirrups, with nothing covering the private parts. It is humbling. But it is an experience that teaches you that at a hospital they are caring for you whether it is a finger, a toe, a birth, a broken bone, stitches, sunburn, other burn, etc. They care about treating the patient, they don't care who you are. They just get right to work. They are really impressive in emergency rooms.

A few years ago we almost lost our son (same one mentioned above in birthing process) when he took ONE Ceclor which he had not been allergic to in the past. We took him to emergency room in Lake Jackson, Texas. They rushed him ahead of everyone else, they didn't ask for insurance or money or ID (at first). The doctors and nurses never asked for anything like that.

They just went to work saving his life. Six hours later he was stabilized. But it was a scary touch and go 6 hours.

Thank goodness for emergency room doctors!

BTW Same son is visiting us here this week in Calif.
THANKS TO EMERGENCY ROOM DOCTORS AND NURSES!!!!!!!

I hope not. They've been peeing in their own well.
Let them drink from it.

I'm sure glad the Euroweenies are on the front lines of dealing with Islamofascist extremism. There should be an ample number of "incidents" to show Americans what awaits them if they do not stand up for freedom.
