Muslim medical students are refusing to obey hygiene rules brought in to stop the spread of deadly superbugs, because they say it is against their religion.

Women training in several hospitals in England have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands, because it is regarded as immodest in Islam.

I won’t say it...ok I will, coming to America next.

Britian needs to get their muslims under control.

P.C. will kill you before the germs!

[dcwusmc]

Good enough reason to kick them out of the country... unless they promise, on pain of death, to limit their practice of “medicine” to their own ilk!

[Anti-Bubba182]

Fire their asses!

*SIGH*

Y’OK

Simple....muzzie doctors treat muzzie patients....no hand washing for you....no alcohol based disinfectants.....and lots of head and arm coverings to spread germs. I guess the mortality rate will go up a bit ....but those raisins are sooooo enticing.

"Exposed arms can pick up germs and there is a lot of evidence to suggest skin is safer to the patient if covered. One idea might be to produce long, sterile, disposable gloves which go up to the elbows."

Great I can see it now muslim doctors trying to shinny into a modest half body condom.

Some one has to draw a line these poeple will be spreading disease like its the 7th century all over again........oh wait thats the century they like.

[Thud]

Think of it as evolution in action.

[sofaman]

There's a simple solution: Let them practice their religious sensitivities and their medicine in a Muslim country.

[G8 Diplomat]

That would be creepy.

[G8 Diplomat]

Thanks for the ping.

[G8 Diplomat]

Oh man, THAT would probably knock the patient right out again!

[sport]

Sooner than you think, my friend.

[Cold Heat]

Toss ‘em out on their butts.
