When a Muslim get sick......

[MivharMeni]

Ok, this Muslim chick busted her knee cap and drove to the doctor.

Well, she didn't feel comfortable with

*the doc being a man

*not having a female chaperone

*and having to undress



She got ****ed and left without being seen.



The issue wasn't really that divided. Some say hijab can be relaxed in times of medical emergencies. Other was saying that she could have just exposed her leg and knee. I've read on other boards that it didn't matter....etc. etc.



So I was wondering if there was a directory of Muslim/Muslima doctors?

I figure such would be beneficial to Muslim community.

Or, whether you're Muslim or not, you can simply ask for a female doctor. Lots of non-Muslim women prefer to see female doctors too, so it's nothing unusual.

But if her knee cap was broken, I wonder how she managed to *drive* to the doctor? Coulda been painful if she had to brake suddenly...

If you are dealing with a Muslimah, provide female for her.
If you are dealing with a Muslim, provide a man for him.

If a Muslimah is giving birth, make sure her wishes are respected and the door is shut as she was told it would be. Make sure no men walk in on her as promised.

Do not touch a Muslimah unless it is an emergency i.e she is dying and can only be seen by a man.
Do not touch a Muslim man unless it is an emergency i.e he is dying and can only be seen by a woman.

Do not offer to shake the hand of a Muslimah if you are a man.
Do not offer to shake the hand of a Muslim man if you are a woman.

Provide a hygenic/suitable place for them to pray.
Do not offer pork, alcohol or any other widely acknowledged prohibition to them.
Let them have privacy and modesty.

Thank you so much for your kind advice.

What about diagnostic fields like mammography/senology if I haven't got a female colleague or the skill significantly differ between a male and a female collegue? How can I deal with this issue.

Best regards,

James B.

You have raised an interesting issue. There is a recently launched online discussion forum for muslim doctors, medical students and prospective medics. You can have a look at http://www.muslimmedic.com

Sounds life her knee cap getting busted affected her thinking.

This is retarded. She could have called up the doctor/ got someone to visit him (I'm assuming she couldn't walk to the health centre with a 'busted knee') to say "I KNOW WOMAN WIFF BROKEN KNEE, BUT SHE FEEL SHY".

Maybe there was a female doc in the vicinity, or maybe JUST maybe her saving her knee could involve the overlooking of the ban of a man seeing her.

The greater good is important, right?

I mean, that's why we're allowed to eat pork when times are hard and there's no other source of food around.
