Of Course

Dr Rogozov, guilty of doing the right thing

Shapshot of Britain.

In 2013 a Muslim surgeon shrouded in her germ-ridden hijab was prevented from operating on a patient by the Czech consultant anaesthetist, Dr Vladislav Rogozov, at Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital. Needless to say the risks of infection to the patient from her everyday headwear were very high and definitely life-threatening. And this of course was obvious to the surgeon concerned.

We know that not just because her extensive training would have continually reiterated the absolute importance of a sterile operating environment, but also because the consultant who stopped her has related that there was a “long discussion held with respect, decency and factual arguments” but that in the end the “surgeon refused and left the operating room.”

They found another surgeon and the operation went ahead and perhaps Dr Rogozov had saved a life by his intervention. Then afterwards the consultant described how “other members of the surgical team came to me (in a low voice and with the door closed) to share their concerns about the threat to patient safety.”

            

It’s yet another example of something that would have been unthinkable even a decade ago but is now becoming a commonplace outrage.

Of course a Muslim would risk a patient’s life over a triviality, religion is very important to them you know.

Of course the consultant actually treated her lunatic selfishness with “respect” rather than calling security to have her removed from the hospital.

Of course she subsequently accused the consultant of racism and this ridiculous allegation was actually investigated.

Of course it was a foreigner who raised the alarm. Obviously he was unaware of the career-destroying danger that any charge of racism (however ridiculous) carries.

Of course none of the other highly-trained professionals spoke up or took sides.

Of course the Muslim surgeon has not faced criminal charges or been struck off for this most egregious offence.

Of course the hospital kept it quiet.

Of course the consultant has now been suspended for revealing the truth about an issue which is of the greatest public interest.

Of course it is he, the only person who did the right thing in the whole sorry affair, who is to be punished. How else can they deter the next person who is tempted to do the right thing?

It’s the of courses which show how far multiculturalism has degraded everyday decency and morality in Britain. This in a country that just a couple of generations ago was respected the world over for the moral integrity of its people. The reality of Britain today is that a room full of the most highly-trained, trusted and respected medical professionals would prefer to risk the life of a patient than speak out against the plainest of barbaric idiocy.  

Of course we’re finished.
