Some nurses in hospitals are refusing to (a) bare their arms as required by the health regulations (b) disinfect their hands as they move between patients - both because they offend their Muslim beliefs.
Islam demands that females must cover themselves in public, and that includes the arm - so they cannot be uncovered. Also since the personal disinfectants provided outside most hospital wards contain alcohol which is banned by Islam, it cannot be used.
So you do not practice the necessary hygiene and you cannot be fired because it would be discrimination.
Result: religion and political correctness satisfied and patients die unnecessarily from preventable contagion.
Coming soon to a health facility near you.
For those of you who do not want to waste time with division, but, rather would prefer to object to the overturning of this regulation, please go to http://www.freedom2care.org/ to make your comment known to the new “Health and Human Services” of this Administration.
For those who don’t yet understand the problem:
Is it really that difficult to believe that there is an obvious difference between routine hygiene and elective abortion or the commission of euthanasia?
At the least, there are many ethical ways to do the first, and no ethical way to do the latter.
Nurses and nursing students can avoid spreading germs other ways than by alcohol or baring their arms. Soap, water, gloves, and long sleeved over-gowns - or simply the long sleeves themselves.
