3 Cities Fighting Hygiene Battle With Muslim Hospital Workers
Thursday , February 28, 2008
Muslim medical workers in three major English cities are balking at hospital hygiene rules such as rolling up their sleeves when they scrub for surgery, according to The Daily Mail.
Health officials have been ready to wash their hands of the dispute, but at least one hospital is bending to the requests.
Female med students and staff at hospitals in at least a trio of large British cities Liverpool, Leicester and Sheffield have continued to flat-out refuse to comply with regulations aimed at fending off germs and infections, the Mail reported, with some saying they'd rather quit than expose their arms.
The workers object on the grounds that showing their forearms is immodest for women who practice Islam and against their religion. Hygiene gurus insist that no exceptions should be made for religious or other reasons.
But Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool said that though there are certain non-negotiable rules, it is attempting to work with Muslim students to find a solution.
"We specify bare below elbows, no wrist watches, nail varnish or false nails in clinical areas," Steve Ryan, Alder Hey's medical director, told the Mail. "Good hand hygiene is one of the most important and simplest actions we can take to prevent health care-associated infections."

That's whatcha call a 'no-brainer.'
So QUIT already! Better yet... FIRE them.
Spot on!
BUMP!
F***ing unbelievable. Keep on placating them and this is the crap you get. Political correctness my ass.
Nevada. Sorry, thought everyone heard this on the news this morning. There’s a news article here on FR about it.
Nevada I think in Las Vegas. I live near Reno, and heard the story, but am pretty sure it isn’t Reno.
I fear this may be an issue in the US someday. This has got to be nipped in the bud...
celebrate diversity (and getting MRSA!)
“have continued to flat-out refuse to comply with regulations aimed at fending off germs and infections, the Mail reported, with some saying they’d rather quit than expose their arms.”
Such an easy way out of this nonsense......fire ‘em!

"England's people are dead, Jim.
WHat is the crisis. Let them practice their religious rituals...but NOT at this place of work.
Simple enough.
I’m a Yank who lives in England (but I’m coming home soon,yea!) and as a student I’ve worked for the NHS on and off for the past couple of years. I can say that where I worked they’re mostly still “English” but that this “shite” is creeping into even small places in North West Britain (Chester). Does anybody find it to be a “coincidinc”(American funny pronunciation) that cases of MRSA and C-Difficil have skyrockedted because Muslim nurses refuse to scrub? I think not. But rather than “offend” them the Leftist NHS is more willing to let innocent people die from septicemia.
So you *admit* you're a wanker? ;-)

Cheers!
I have a solution!
Go back to wherever the hell you came from and take the dark ages with you!

Ah the benefits of multi-culturalism: disease, mayhem and death.
Isn’t it wrong for a Muslim women to be touching a man who she isn’t married to? Or see that man naked? Also I would think putting your hands into his body would just cause to be stonned to death.
Refuse to have them serve you. Ask for non-Muslim healthcare workers.
Where is “here”?
