Not that you would want to be treated by such compassionate practitioners of medicine. How would the Obama administration, the same regime that would jail Americans for not buying health insurance, handle this?
More than three-quarters of Muslim med students feel right to refuse treatment
July 23, 2011 by creepingvia Next generation of doctors vote on right to refuse treatment.
Story continues below advertisementThe next generation of doctors believe they should have the right to refuse to treat certain patients based on personal, moral and religious beliefs.
An anonymous survey of more than 700 British medical students found nearly half felt they should be entitled to make conscientious objections to carrying out procedures, including abortions and treating drunk patients.
Most of their objections were linked to non-religious reasons, but about one-fifth of students cited religion as the key factor.
Out of the 10 different religious groups the students belonged to, Muslims were the most likely to believe they had a right to conscientiously object.
“[The survey] is a litmus test for the future in that they didn’t survey doctors; they surveyed students,” Australian Medical Association president Steve Hambleton said.
“It may be that we need to focus some of those ethical issues in medical courses, given the increase in the number of female students and there being more of a mix of race and religion [among medical students].”
More than three-quarters of Muslim students and more than half of Jewish and Protestant students felt doctors had a right to make a conscientious objection.
Will training overcome religious ideologies? Sharia? Hospitals in the U.S. are becoming more sharia compliant.
Off topic but related, Michelle Malkin and others have noted the jihad’s infamous doctors:
…radical Islam’s bloody perversion of the medical profession traces back to the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood, the global terror operation that wooed wealthy young docs and other intellectual elites with cushy union benefits.
– Ayman al-Zawahiri, a surgeon from a family of doctors, was raised in the Muslim Brotherhood; helmed the murderous Islamic Jihad; and masterminded myriad al-Qaida plots before succeeding Osama bin Laden this summer.
– Former Hamas leader Abdel Rantissi, bent on wiping out the children of Israel, was a pediatrician.
– Convicted al-Qaida scientist Aafia Siddiqui studied microbiology at MIT and did graduate work in neurology at Brandeis.
– Rafiq Abdus Sabir was a Columbia University grad who served as an emergency room physician in Boca Raton, Fla., before his terrorism conviction in 2007 for agreeing to provide medical aid and treatment to wounded al-Qaida fighters so they could return to Iraq to kill American soldiers.
– Rafil Dhafir, an Iraqi-born oncologist, practiced in New York before being convicted in 2004 on 59 criminal counts related to violating Iraqi sanctions and committing large-scale medical charity fraud.
– A den of well-heeled jihadi doctors from around the world was implicated in the 2007 London/Glasgow bombings. At least one of the convicted terror MDs worked for Britain’s National Health Service.
– Mahmoud al-Zahar, another bloodthirsty Hamas biggie and medical doctor, described his specialty to a New York Times reporter in 2006 this way: ”’Thyroids: I’m very good at cutting throats,’ Dr. Zahar said, drawing his forefinger across his neck as a rare smile spread across his face.”

If they become emergency room doctors and you get wheeled in needing critical care, they can refuse – if they don’t like your pendant, the star of David or the crucifix.

Pamela, thank you so much for this story. The huge risk we take by allowing so many Muslim doctors into our country is rarely discussed. Who in their right mind would want to be treated by a doctor whose world-view categorizes them as sub-human, and whose “holy book” instructs them to hurt and to kill non-Muslims while lying and being deceitful(taqiyya) about their true goals and intentions the entire time? Muslim “scripture” and tradition clearly teaches and preaches that the lives of non-Muslims are of no value. Is this the kind of person any of us would want standing over us with a scalpel, or even a stethoscope? Muslim doctors can also be used in jihad (“winning hearts and minds”) in very subtle ways. Here on the West Coast of Florida, there are many Muslim doctors in Hernando County, which is a rural and sparsely-populated county with more than its share of poverty. Many Muslim doctors with ties to Hamas live and work in Hernando County. Some of them recently banded together to open a free clinic for homeless and poor people, to “show the skeptics that Muslims are all about charity and helping their fellow man”. When the wife of a Hernando County commissioner stated publicly that she did not want Islamists in her county, no matter what they did for a living because Islam is a violent, imperialistic and totalitarian political system, she was singled out for aggressive attack by the Tampa office of CAIR, who even convinced then-Governor Jeb Bush to publicly condemn this woman and her truthful remarks. The “Crescent Clinic” continues to this day, treating people who literally live in tents in the woods, people with no power and influence, no family, and no one to stick up for them if they were to fall seriously ill or die suddenly. Meanwhile, the radical Islamists working there soak up the praise from the local liberal media for their one day a month clinic.

Frankly, I have always been totally fearful of Islamic doctors. Face it, who do you want to see in this affirmative action Islamo-Nazi PC world … Cohen, White, Bilinigual, Black, Mohammaed. Uh, I could deal with Cohen, White and possibly Bilingual and Black. Mohammed is not acceptable.

Another fantastic reason to repeal Obamacare.

And lets not forget Che Guevara had been a medical student. The medical training gave him the dispassion needed to become Castro’s executioner. A function he fulfilled during and after the revolution.
This dispassion about human life might be why so many muslim doctors become jihadis.
If I was seeing a doctor in europe now I would NEVER tell them I was jewish. God knows what they would do to me.

I have MS, for ten years now, know a boatload about the medical profession most able bodied don’t and every single specialist and doctor I use and know will be leaving the medical field in the coming few years as Obamacare being the straw that broke Medicine’s back. And the Obamacare solution is to let these foreign born America hating Muslims fill the void as well as nurses from the third world they’re already let pour in like it’s a free for all.
And I know THAT as a 911 dispatcher who talks to these people or tried to I should say as we all know how cruddy their English is and can be….so finally after the sanctuary illegal alien invasion in Chicago became intolerable, I quit last April after 8 years on overnights part time (as I couldn’t walk anymore and had to leave my 20 year printing career but still webwork and design) as I refused to converse with these English Butchers from the middle east and Philippines any longer working in these places now//
Not to even MENTION the deadbeats and freeloaders calling IN from the ghetto’s and illegal alien barrios and what have you. It was like a third world circus each freaking shift. It’s so abominable to deal with, they (at least here outside Chicago) made us sign anti media disclosure forms and so on risking lawsuits up the azzzzz should much of this bad publicity be made public in any substantial form. How do you like that? They’re so embarrassed about it they’ll sue former employees who dime out how the third worlder’s are the dominant users of these emergency services yet contribute the least to society they demand so much from !!!! Freaking Animals.
I allude to it as nearly accurate as I can, but I’m just warning you all, you call a freaking ER after 5 pm your chances of leaving better off or alive are becoming near nil.

Who would be stupid enough to have a muslime doctor? Especially if you’re a kuffar/infidel.
My friend told the people at the hospital he wanted a different doctor and would NOT accept a muslime
doctor treating him. The bastards insisted on a reason and he laughed and said “religious grounds”.

What a sad state of affairs. We never had problems w/public antisemitism at UCI (University of California, Irvine) or USC (University of Southern California) until the islamonazis showed up.
Please note the islamonazis frequently thinly veil their antisemitism as antizionism.

I have been attended to a few times by a Muslimah doctor in a multi-racial Muslim country a few times for some minor(luckily) ailments like severe cold and coughs and most times these doctors just listened to my complaints and prescribed some medications. The odd occasions when I arrived with really bad coughing and sneezing and wheezing a Muslimah doctor would condescend to listen to my lungs through my vest and shirt. She must have had remarkable powers of hearing. I suppose she was worried that if her hands came into contact with my bare skin she might have become a stark raving sex-maniac or God forbid she would have to touch the most vile of creatures.

Or maybe she didn’t care if you had TB or emphysema. After all, you’re just another sub-human kuffar.

Ayn Rand would side with the students. Doctors are not slaves.

I am really curious why you only focus on Muslim students. After all, you did mention half the Jewish and prostestant students shared the same sentiment. Why are all your articles about all the negativity towards one group? It makes everything you write look biased and unreliable.
