#6 Do muslim medical students "get" the germ theory of disease or is that considered with the Will of Allan (prostheses be upon him)?

#7 As long as they pay muslims wimmens only 1/2 the muslim menses.

menses: The monthly flow of blood from the uterus that begins at puberty in women and the females of other primates. In women, menses ceases at menopause. Also called catamenia.

hummm..1/2 pay during the monthly eh!

#10 I have to wear a disposable surgical bonnet when I'm in the OR, as does everyone else. There should be no exceptions to that; the point of the bonnet (and mask, gown, gloves, disposable booties, etc) is to ensure cleanliness in the OR and delivery suites.

A 'sterile headscarf' is a strange idea: the point of the head bonnet is to keep your hair (no comments, Emily) out of the way so that unsterile hair can't come into contact with the patient, instruments, etc. A sterile headscarf wouldn't necessarily do that, and if it did, why not just wear the bonnet?

#11 Why not just go straight to sterile burquas and be done with it. Should be very comforting to muslim patients to face an operation by a doctor who can't see what they're doing. Where the surgeon's "modesty" outweights sterility and dexterity of movement.

#12 "Nurse, I need gauze to staunch the blood flow here!"

...

"Nurse?"

...

"NURSE!"

"I'm sorry, but she's on her sterile prayer mat, spouting gibberish toward Mecca."

#13 Don't worry, Steve. I'm quite sure no unsterile hair will escape from your disposable surgical bonnet.
