Story continues below advertisementDr Keith Wolverson allegedly asked a Muslim patient to remove her veil at an appointment
A GP who could face the sack for asking a Muslim patient to remove her face veil says she took it off ‘willingly’ before her husband launched a complaint claiming the doctor had been ‘rude’.
Dr Keith Wolverson, 52, of Derby, is under investigation after a patient’s husband accused him of upsetting his wife by asking her to remove her niqab so he could hear what was wrong with her child.
But the GP, who has been practising for 23 years, said the patient agreed ‘willingly’ and ‘there was no sign from her that she was upset’ as they sat in the consulting room at Royal Stoke University Hospital last June.
But, when her husband arrived half an hour later, he complained to hospital bosses, Mr Wolverson told MailOnline.
And now Dr Wolverson will be investigated by the General Medical Council for alleged discrimination.
‘It’s not been a great time, I wanted to get this into the public arena. It was so absurd,’ he said. ‘The woman had a full face veil on, which I asked her to remove for clarity of communication.
‘There was no sign from her that she was upset or upset with me for asking.
‘She did so willing, later on her husband attended the treatment centre and made a formal complaint.
‘I’m not racist, this has nothing to do with race, religion or skin colour.’
And Dr Wolverson said previously when he had treated Muslim women wearing a niqab they removed it without his asking.
He added: ‘I’ve treated women in the past who have worn similar veils but on those occasions I’ve never had to ask them to remove it they just did.
‘I’ve seen the suggest that I could’ve asked a female GP to carry out the treatment for the woman’s daughter but there was no female GP in the centre.’
The GP said the patient agreed without any hesitation as they sat in the consulting room at Royal Stoke University Hospital (pictured)
The doctor, who said he has never before faced sanctions, may now be struck off. ‘It’s not been easy, I was just trying to do my job, I’ve not working in medicine since,’ he added.
A form was sent to the GMC outlining the complaints against Dr Wolverson. It claims the woman told him she did not want to remove the veil on religious grounds, but he would not continue the consultation if she refused.
The official complaint claims the mother was left crying and feeling ‘victimised and racially discriminated’ against. And it says the doctor was ‘rude’ and ‘gave her a dirty look’.
Mohammed Shafiq, of the Ramadhan Foundation, said the doctor’s behaviour was ‘offensive’, adding that a female member of staff could have been called to help. He said that Dr Wolverson should go on a diversity awareness course.
Joyce Robins, from the Patient Association, said it would be ‘criminal’ for a doctor to be struck off over this. She added: ‘A doctor needs to be sensitive to a patient’s religion but safety must always come first.’
According to the GMC, doctors who wear a veil must remove it if their patient sees it as an ‘obstacle’ to communication. But no advice is offered for GPs in the reverse situation.
The GMC has been urged by The Doctors’ Association UK to offer guidelines on when doctors can reasonably ask patients to remove clothing.
A 2009 NHS guide said same-sex consultations cannot always be provided.

Thanks to an evil old hag that is the enemy of British patriots. She has done more damage to the UK than any other leader and to say that, when you see what Blair, Brown and Cameron did is some achievement from this traitor who is responsible for destroying the statue of limitations, so that soldiers doing their best to protect the population in Northern Ireland during the seventies by fighting the IRA can be prosecuted for fake crimes while the IRA murderers face no consequences for the murders of innocent civilians. She needs to rot in jail for the rest of her life, preferably in total isolation. She also as Home Secretary allowed hundreds of thousands of the Muslim filth to enter the country and has bent over backwards to accommodate their every wish, at the expense of the British people and imposed an alien barbaric culture that has no place in a civilized country.

There are no words in the English language that can adequately describe the pure evil that that lurks in the soul and conscience of May.

anything you do for a muslim puts a westerner at risk. Islamic radicals are evil people bent on civilizational paralysis and the bringing a passive society into captivity.

She probably happily took it off, figuring she’d tattle to hubbie and then go after Dr and sue hospital.

Well I dunno …. he was alone with a woman who was not a family member. Instead of being fired, shouldn’t the penalty be death (for her, or him, or both …. I’m a little fuzzy on the exact halalic requirement here)?

a simple lie detector test should be requested by the doctor for him and his patient. Then the public can see who the liar is and was, and what that means…..

That would be considered racist or Islamophobic under Theresa May’s leadership and her PC police.

But if he had killed or permanently mutilated a non muzz patient he would still be practicing.

You are correct. A Muslim doctor in the UK was responsible for the death of a child through miss diagnoses and being negligent, yet she is still practicing today

Being a doctor in the US is no different. They have a license to kill through negligence. There is no accountability. My wife is a APRN and I hear about it everyday. They cover for each other like cops and lawyers do. It’s all about the money.

It will not happen while you have a Muslim loving Prime Minister and her spineless PC cabinet that do not have the balls to even discuss the sub human invasion of the country and the appalling crimes that they commit. Never once has May or anyone in Parliament ever talked about the mass grooming, rapes and torture, including murder that these followers of Islam are still carrying out with impunity. They are a protected species with the British police acting as their minders and arresting anyone who dares to criticize these filthy inbred scumbags and speak the truth, as to how they are destroying everything that made Britain a once great country. They are taking over the country and no leader is doing a damn thing about it.

Hopefully, this treasonous slag will be forced out, but nothing will change. All these politicians are traitors and cowards and will just tow the line and ignore the Islamic problem while women are raped and people are killed.

Things will change in as much as we will get a pm who knows that their job is to deliver Brexit which May clearly did not.
Any change from that silly old cow will be a step in the right direction. The Tory party is riding an all time low and they know that the only way to redeem themselves is to give the British public what we voted for and Brexit means exit.
The islam issue is all directly linked to this.

Its simple, refuse to treat anyone in a veil. they should not be allowed to have it both ways.

This is what they do. And the West continues to cave and ostracise its own. This is a non issue; the filthy islamic needs to have is complaint form filed in the trash and chastised or fined for a false issue.

This is cultural suicide and lawfare working hand-in-hand. Muslim complains of being ‘offended’ by a white British doctor, and the likely outcome will be; a grovelling ‘apology’ muslim ‘compensated’ and doctor suspended, possibly struck off, and all thanks to OUR OWN legal system. Why don’t we just tell them to fu*k off?

They get their way by loud verbals etc, look at the ismalist protests outside many uk SCHOOLS, THEY ARE AGAINST LGBT info. being given to their children, they say they will withdraw their children from the schools, yet when any real Brits complain against THEIR children being given info etc on islam they are branded as racists, far from fair & balanced, plus our education Act stipulates the opposite side of the info/debate should be provided to the pupils,

It was never the mussie couples intention to get the doctor dismissed. They wanted to get COMPENSATION for their ‘hurt’. Oh well I suppose male doctors in UK could refuse to treat patients that wear the niqab..If there aren’t any female doctors, then that is the muslima’so bad luck.

Britain will become the Islamic Republic of Oceania, and if there are Brits with brains they will leave that foul Island and come to America where they will be appreciated with skills and they speak our language. If The Brtexit party wins that will be the end of this Islamic insanity.

This event is one of hundreds that occur daily throughout the UK and Europe and any other place that has not resisted the Muslim invasion. In the UK it has now reached a breaking,boiling point that will soon tear the country apart. May and her ilk will be cast out and replaced with leaders who will defend the native Anglo Saxons. Nigel Farage and his BREXIT Party are on the verge of victory next week poised to destroy both the limp wrist Tories and the vile communist Labourites.This will be a catharsis from which a truly Greater Kingdom will emerge.

Actions have consequences. When the continent, and surrounding islands, countries were flooded by those whose culture, whose religion was the polar opposite than the norm, what was the expected outcome?
People should stay in their country of origin now. Let the governments of the West help them there.
Exit the EU. Abolish Schengen, start up what’s called an immigration system, begin deportations, seek alternative energy sources.
What are people to say? The Middle East does not allow the actions which progressives have arranged and ushered in, in our own lands, while we stared amazed and did nothing.
Our lives have not improved. We, many, are sad, and depressed by all of it.
Worthless politicians have disappointed us and led us to danger.
The ME closes its doors but demands our countries open ours.
Let them rebuild in their own countries and set up armies so they can defend themselves there.
This experiment from decades past, which has gained momentum in the past twenty years shall lead to (how shall I say this politely), shall lead to problems. Major problems, imho.
I would not set foot in countries that are this confused. I could not feel comfortable.

The complainers do not belong in western secular society. Deport to country of origin, even if beyond the first generation.
They shall be happier, and all shall be happier.
We could all be much more content, and productive. Let those who cannot assimilate 100% to the regulations of a host country return to their native country.
Rebuild the war torn areas with global assistance, trade, try to be at peace, and each stay where their cultural lands.

BUT, that is NOT what Muslims want. Their main goal is to infiltrate a country, overwhelm it in all ways, culturally and legally, and overtake it making Sharia Law their government.
ISLAM is not a religion. It is a political ideology with traits of a Satanic cult. Any time an ideology demands MURDER, LYING, AND THEFT to others who are NOT in their cult, IT IS SATANIC since God does not command these things. What Muslims don’t understand is that the REAL GOD OF THE UNIVERSE IS NOT ONLY A GOD OF LOVE, BUT OF JUSTICE. HE WILL REPAY THOSE WHO MURDER, LIE, AND STEAL TO ANYONE.
ISLAM IS SATAN’S IDEOLOGY AND RELIGION (if that’s what you think a religion is).

I understand. It’s just that it would be nice if people stayed in their own countries when they full well know they hate and despise the people and the culture of other countries.
The leaders of the host countries are equally to blame for all that has happened. They should have known, as we know.

The good doctor is more than welcome to immigrate ( not migrate ) to Canada. We desperately need his skill, knowledge and expertise. British Columbia would welcome him with open arms.There are communities that would assist with paperwork and moving expenses.

There is no room in polite society for people to mask their faces in public, unless it is for protection from the weather or the spread of an illness.
Why do we allow this for anybody is beyond me, and I would not bother to talk to anybody wearing a mask if it were not on Halloween. This is not an Islamic mandate, but it is peculiar to Muslims only. While that may be okay in their culture, it is improper in the rest of the world. When in Rome…
