My colleagues know exactly where I stand from these issues, and my patients often do not recognise me as an Arab or a Muslim... However, I think it is quite telling of the general mood, that our Hospital has issued a statement to the public that it will not tolerate any racist behaviour or remarks targetting its staff, and anybody (patients, relatives, or staff) found behaving in that manner will be actively prosecuted to the full extent of the law..The Syrian Brithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13918783557049896806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19881627.post-1679027059340125622007-07-07T17:01:00.000-04:002007-07-07T17:01:00.000-04:00Alex,I haven't noticed anything; at least nothing ...Alex,<BR/><BR/>I haven't noticed anything; at least nothing said to my face. I suspect it is more acute in the UK and more so for newcomers.<BR/><BR/>I think this will definitely have an impact on the number of physicians from the Middle East who are able to pursue training not only in the U.K. but also in the U.S.Rabi Tawil (AKA Abu Kareem)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01852076137303801731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19881627.post-6376622856649844912007-07-07T16:17:00.000-04:002007-07-07T16:17:00.000-04:00Abu Kareem, Syrian Brit, Did you already notice a ...Abu Kareem, Syrian Brit, <BR/><BR/>Did you already notice a change in the way other doctors or patients evaluate your character? ... do you find yourself having to announce in every conversation that you do not agree with the fundamentalists?<BR/><BR/>AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19881627.post-50195304668871448452007-07-07T09:41:00.000-04:002007-07-07T09:41:00.000-04:00SB,Glad you liked it.

The impact on 'foreign' doctors will be immeasurable, and we will be reeling from it for decades.. This will do to our reputation as 'foreign' doctors what 9/11 did to the reputation of all Muslims..<BR/>(a small correction, possibly..
