#1 The woman should consider herself lucky that the doctor came out of the closet, as opposed to remaining silent. He could have easily smiled and prescribed something that would have harmed or killed her. It ain't Nashville or Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Medical treatment for US CITS traveling overseas is a risky affair. Always has been.

#2 Last I heard, the modern version of the Hypocratic Oath requires a commitment to never refuse service to a patient. I suppose that offends shariah. Dollars for dimes says the pali imposed huge costs on Swedish tax payers to acquire that degree.

#3 The Hypocratic Oath is supposed to supersede ALL other concerns, you do you'r upmost to help whomever needs help. Full stop. I dont give a f*ck if its religion, war or a wish to cut cheese you will help people. He should be BANNED from practicing medicine. Evil C*nt.

#4 I agree with #1, the woman was lucky she wasn't harmed or killed by this "physician."

#5 more like 'hypocritical' oath
the loving nurturing doctor.
What a jackass.
I always carry several types of antibiotics with me when I travel. thanks to connections ;) haven't ever needed any, but just feel better to have them in case. I would never go to a medical facility outside of the US.
Although, these days I don't even feel good about leaving the states.

#6 Between the manager's and the nurses' actions (the next day), sounds like they didn't much care for this "doctor" either. Probably couldn't say/do anything until he stepped out of line, but he did, so they all turned on him. Good for them.

#7 They have their own "oath":

#8 I also agree with Besoeker, she's very fortunate to be alive. Actually, if I were the patient and saw a camel doc enter the room I would have left, no matter how ill I felt. Go to another town and recieve treatment from a real physician.

#9 According to the facts presented, this physician's behavior is unconscionable. But apparently, medical ethics in the middle east has become oxymoronic. Zawahiri and Basher are physicians, as was Rantisi. Mengele would be pleased.

#10 Amen Besoeker, Better they come right out with the prejudice. I have never EVER met a Paleo that I liked. I have met Saudis, Jordanians, Lebanese, and Iraqis that I generally like. Paleos come off as expecting people to understand why the world owes them everything and we should understand why they have to kill all the Jews. Ans before you ask yes they have the same twisted attitude even if they were born and raised in the U.S.

#11 I spent a lot of time working in Sweden with the Royal Swedish Air Force, FMV, and FFV in the late 70's and visited there again in the 80's. This is so out of keeping with the Swedes and Sweden I know that it is almost unbelievable. The real Swedes in the clinic must have been near death from embarassment. It bothers me that vermin like this can take advantage of Scandanavian generosity to spread his filth beyond the borders of his own land.
