Muslim medics stopped from wearing veil
2006-10-17
A medical school in Birmingham, UK, has banned Muslim medics from wearing a full-face veil. The Birmingham University School of Medicine banned veils to "help good communication" between Muslim medical students, their colleagues and patients. The school allowed Muslim women to cover their faces during lectures and around campus, but banned veils in hospital buildings' "clinical environments". A spokesman said "we have not restricted students from wearing headscarves".
"Doctor, doctor! It hoits when I do dis!"
"Do what?"
"Dis! Dis! It hoits when I do dis!"
"Okay, don't do dat."

#4  Doctor's ties have been pinpointed as sources of spreading infections amoung patients. I would think veils would be far worse. This is only medical common sense.

#2  Indeed, .com - the family didn't conform to the cultural norms and did the best thing... leave. Similarly anyone who wants towear this crazy shit in the UK should funk off and live in a muslim country. Asstards. Personally, if I saw one of those freaks in hospital I'd be out the window...

#1  Reminds me of a story I was told while in SaudiLand. Given my imperfect memory, it went something like this... A woman had decided to take her family home, without the husband IIRC, and when asked what prompted the sudden decision after so many years in-Kingdom, she told of seeing her youngest daughter, about age 5, running around with a towel over her head. When she asked her daughter what she was playing, the child said she was playing "doctor". The woman decided it was time to get out before the child was terminally confused, lol.
