Making my rounds in the hospital one day, I put my stethoscope to a patient’s chest while she kept her eyes fixed on the television screen over my shoulder.

Hours before, bombs had torn through an airport and a train station in Brussels. My 65-year-old patient watched a flurry of images on Fox News showing unfathomable carnage, and I went through the all-too-familiar ritual of hoping that the perpetrators would not be identified as Muslim, that members of my faith would not be considered guilty by inexplicable association.

The sounds of my patient’s voice rose, eclipsing the thump of her heartbeat that I was painstakingly trying to hear.

She sounded distressed, anguished even, about the loss of the innocent lives on the TV screen. “These foreign people only come here to kill and ruin things,” she said. Then she said Donald Trump is right: America should ban all Muslims from immigrating here.

Well, there are SOME muslims who refused to be treated by non-muslim doctors as well.

Or Some muslim women refuse to be seen by male doctors, Some muslim men refuse to be seen by female doctors.

---> The news call it as "Respecting Muslim Patients' need".

It's a choice. I can choose to be seen by a male or female doctor. And I can see why most women(Muslim or not) would want to be seen by a female doctor. My wife demands it with our PCM.

If a Muslim says they want to have a Muslim doctor, they go where they are. I've yet to read the case where the Muslim patient goes to a regular hospital and says I don't want this Christian doctor.

Silly. Many of them are some of the best doctors.
