a little people,...
a silly people, greedy, barbarous, and cruel...
A 17 year old boy was admitted to a hospital with extreme pain and swelling in the groin. When sent for an ultrasound, a veiled woman radiologist Dr. K. Aribag refused to administer the test and told the patient to return the next day. The young man was disappointed for a second time when the second doctor turned out to be another veiled female doctor who also refused to treat him, due to the Islamic ban on touching a man’s body. Finally, after the Chief Physician was involved and a male radiologist was found, the young man underwent an emergency surgery, but lost a testical due to the delays.
Had a bilateral inguinal hernia coupla years back which I exacerbated cleanin up debris after Hurricane Ivan.
My Navy doctor sent me to their abdominal specialist, a crusty old gal who came in, shook my hand, and said, “Drop ‘em and let’s have a look.”
Put her fingers in places I didn’t know I had places and said she needed to fix both sides, the sooner the better. Damned glad I met her.
By the way, during the examination, the only other person in the room was her Corpsman assistant, a young E-5 female.
During the surgery, the only male (other than myself) in the room was the gas passer. Surgeon, backup, OR nurses . . . all female. Scars almost completely gone now and no problems down there since. Is this a great country or what?!
