When you walk into the ER, you get the doctor that picks up your chart. If you argue about it, you will just piss off the people taking care of you. If you make a point that it is based on the race or creed of the physician, you will be told that you need to be quiet. If you make a big scene, you could find yourself sedated and restrained.
On the otherhand, you can sign out AMA, and try your luck at the next ER.
Many Middle-East descent physicians are actually Christians, they couldn’t live in peace in their own country and came the the U.S. to practice.
I know plenty of doctors from Muslim countries. The vast majority of them are here in the US because they wanted to get away from the craphole country they came from. I don’t know any that are practicing Muslims, athough they were born into nominally Muslim families and have Muslim names. Their wives wear Western clothes and they drink alcohol and act like everyone else here. They socialize with Jewish physicians.
As far as this story goes, it looks like there are a lot more Jewish doctors than Muslim doctors named as defendants. The story goes off course very quickly by claiming that “acute abdomen” is an easily diagnosed and treated condition.
Physicians treat people every day with whom they have vast differences in political, religious, and personal opinion. I seriously doubt the truth of this story, although it may be the claim of the plaintiff.
