Evil doctors are nothing new

Evil doctors are nothing new

By PETER WORTHINGTON
Toronto Sun, Saturday, July 7, 2007


There is still horror and disbelief that eight medical people were arrested in connection with the bungled car bomb attempts in London and the Jeep Cherokee attack on Glasgow airport.

Although it's well established that the sort of terrorism loose on the world today is not from the downtrodden or oppressed (as mythology contends), but provoked by middle class or elite individuals, it is still shocking to think doctors can kill.

We like to think of doctors as people committed to the Hippocratic oath to save lives, not take them -- even though history records many tyrants with medical backgrounds, including Che Guevara and al-Qaida's Ayman al Zawahir.

The Hippocatic oath dates back to the 4th century B.C. and Hippocrates, the father of medicine. Among other things, the oath reads: "I swear ... I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment, and never do harm to anyone ..."

Despite physicians who go off the rails or abuse their calling (Dr. Joseph Mengele's vivisection experiments on humans in Nazi Germany, and today's doctors in China "harvesting" organs of political prisoners for sale to those with money who need transplants) we don't like to think of medical doctors corrupting their gifts.

As far as is known, the six doctors and one medical student and lab technician under arrest in Britain, originally came from Iraq, Palestine, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and India. What they share seems to be faith in their version of Islam, and a perverted hatred for the Western society that welcomed them as immigrants.

Doctors as terrorists opens another area of concern: Their access to hospitals and the possible damage by contaminating or infecting people is potentially more deadly than bombs or explosions.

That indeed is an alarming thought.

There's a precedent for doctors indulging in terrorism.

Go back to the war for Algerian independence in 1961 and 1962 to see a parallel with doctors participating in terrorism. I spent a good part of two years in Algiers when France's President Charles de Gaulle agreed to grant Algeria independence.

Up to then, Algeria was considered a part of Metropolitan France. While Muslims rejoiced, the Algerian French (Pieds Noirs) reacted violently.

Five French generals rebelled against de Gaulle and a famed Foreign Legion regiment mutinied. In Algiers and Oran, where French outnumbered Muslims, assassinations (attentats) became routine.

Algiers then paralleled Baghdad today in violence.

Daily life went on, but every day there were 30-50 attentats. The morning papers would list the previous day's assassinations -- usually done by the assassin popping up from an alley, and shooting a passerby in the head.

I used to go down to Algiers' Mustapha Hospital with Ken MacLeish of Life magazine to check the night's casualties. With 2,500 beds and 28 operating rooms, Mustpaha was the country's biggest hospital.

Doctors worked feverishly to save lives -- mostly neurological injuries from head wounds.

Impressed by their dedication, I got to know several doctors who were outspoken in their hatred of de Gaulle and opposition to Algerian independence. Many belonged to the OAS - the Secret Army Organization, that was a French assassination movement, offset by Muslim terror squads killing Frenchmen.

Young doctors openly admitted going out at night as OAS assassins and shooting Muslims -- then working as surgeons by day, trying to save lives.

One doctor -- Jean Salasc -- ruefully acknowledged that quite possibly a doctor would fight to save the life of someone he'd shot the night before.

At the time, doctors as assassins seemed an obscene and unlikely contradiction. It still does. But if news stories out of Britain are correct, Algiers is happening again -- but this time it's even more deadly.

Yes, evil doctors like the one I had, Dr. Vinny Boombatz.
He told me I was sick and I was gonna die. I said, “Can I get a second opinion.”
He said, “Yeah, you’re ugly too.”

Evil doctors are responsible for the murder of millions of innocent unborn babies.

this serves to illustrate just how little these muslim pigs care for even their own people, since each one of them wasted their ability to provide medical care for other muslims in order to attempt the murder of a (relatively) few “infidels”.

Evil doctors? Yup. The most famous one in Canada is Henry Morganthauler (sp?)

They've always been with us.

Even for Canucks-bowing-to-PC this is an off-the-rails-silly comparison...

Of course evil doctors have existed everywhere throughout history but never, that I know of, working in concert to kill random people in crowds (restaurants, pizza parlors, chuches, markets, etc.)

I'm afraid sandmaggot doctors have introduced a whole new variety of "mad doctors", and with a motivation uniquely theirs...

Amen. Silly me, I thought the Hippocratic Oath stated “do no harm”

But of course heaven forbid we should pursue that particular avenue!

It was not just French doctors performing assassinations. The Pieds Noirs were fighting for their lives, and for good reasons. The Islamists were murdering practically everybody in sight who were unsympathetic. They continued their horrible butchery against other Muslims after the French left.

Is there a qualitative difference in evil between doctors selecting their victims somewhat at random in crowds, etc as opposed to having them pre-rounded-up for their selection in death camps, etc.

Personally, I don't see one.

This was posted yesterday on another thread, (my paragraph):
***************************************************

“Just a few years ago there was a muslim doctor practicing in a small Nebraska town. Seems he infected quite a number of his patients with hepatitis.

“Before he could be prosecuted he fled — back to Pakistan where he is now a health minister. I’ve always wondered if he was testing covert ways to spread infections.”

Evil Doctors? Time to call in the Breck girl and his lawsuits.
