Don't let the door hit you on your dirty stank ass on your way out.

In the UK.

Welcome to Florida, where someone will look at you funny for not speaking Spanish when they can't speak English.

It sounds horrible, but I want to see a case where a patient gets infected and it's rooted towards the hands of a female surgeon.


SHITSTORM ALERT MAXIMUM SHIT

They should fired, or taken out back and shot. That would be modest in my book. There's no room on Earth for bullshit like that IMO. People who are that mentally ill and foolish to actually believe that garbage should get no mercy.

HACKSAW DECAPITATION!

I think they just fail to realize that a lot of advances in medicine in the past few hundred years have to do with shit like US BEING CLEAN.

Not much to add to what everyone else has said really you've all already covered most of what I was planning to write, Stitchy in particular ( ).
At my last job at the hospital in Camberwell I had to use a hygenic hand-rub every time I fucking sneezed for Christ's sake; that's how stringent you have to be about hygene in these places, and it's not being anal, it really is insanely fucking important given how many times in the past few years there've been out-breaks of bugs in hospitals that've left multiple people dead. How any of these women ever even graduated from medical school is totally beyond me if they can't even wrap their heads round something as simple as that.
I can see a few possible solutions for this;

1) None of these women are allowed to go to work anymore unless a brother or husband accompanying them, if they're that devoted to the tenants of Islam. Oh and they should be flogged if they do ever display an inch of skin to a patient.
2) Next time there's another outbreak in a hospital they can go and explain personally to all the people who've lost relatives why it's so important that their forearms remain covered.

Realistically though, does anyone remember that teaching assistant who refused to remove her veil when she was teaching the students one-on-one and subsequently lost her case for wrongful dismissal when the court decided that it did in fact make her totally unsuitable for that particular career?
The Muslim community in the UK's gotten progressively worse these past few years for constantly demanding preferential treatment in every aspect of their lives, but there is the occasional piece of evidence that people are wising up to it and slowly becoming less willing to pander to them. There'll be lots of whining and moaning for a while, but (hopefully) it won't amount to anything and these women will find themselves unemployed in the very-near future.

As an aside, it seems to be Muslim women who're the most prone to this sort of behaviour. There was another story in the London papers a couple of months ago about a Muslim girl who'd been turned down for a series of hairdressing job and decided that she'd been unfairly discriminated against for wearing a headscarf and ended up suing the woman who'd apparently 'hurt her feelings the most'. Can't remember what came of that one...
What fucks me off the most about it is that they're happy to live in a country where they're allowed to have a proper education, earn their own money, leave the house unaccompanied, and will have the law on their side if they're beaten or raped, all things that they wouldn't be afforded in most Islamic countries, and yet they continue to act like they're being unfairly persecuted when the rest of the country won't pander to the parts of the Islamic faith they still choose to follow.

Well, you're closer to Miami. Up here I get the silent look, like they're expecting me to just repeat myself in Spanish for them like some automated recording.
