Burqa and Medicine
Reader comment on item: Islamists in the Hospital Ward
Submitted by Mark D (United States), Mar 8, 2014 at 01:24
Burqas present problems for medical personnel: France's Europe1 channel explains in "Les médecins face à la burqa" (Doctors confronting the burqa) that patients wearing it makes it "impossible to verify the identity of the patient or her state of health." Further, it complicates matters during surgery or giving birth. (July 13, 2010)
Burqas must be banned. Sayonara to it. Shoo!
