Some of the finest and kindest health care workers I have met in Israel were and are Arab Israelis….

I have no doubt. However you failed to address the issues I raised.

There are many Chareidi doctors and other health care workers whose Tsitis dont drag and contaminate anything btw

Both the Chareidi stars quo and the israeli Arab muslim reality are problems that need to be addressed, but they are two very different problems that will require different discussions and solutions.

it is a serious security problem to have such a large proportion of the medical ( nursing , pharmacy physical therapy ) world Arab muslims.First - they do not have to serve in the military - why is that ??? for the same reason they should not be gaining control over The Healthcare sector either. Second. They are given first dibs at med school etc slots with all kinds of DEI benefits while Jewish Israelis are serving in the military

Im not offering solutions here however this essay doesn't address the real issues. What happened at Rambam has been confirmed as a real problem and to downplay it is a serious error.

Lets support the Hatzibur Hachareidi Party

Beezrat Hashem we will have Charedi Doctors, nurses, pharmacist and Physical and occupational therapists in the health care sector of the economy

The reason they are not obligated to enlist is rhat they might end up facing their relatives.

TY

That is one reason. There is another reason that it is not mandatory.

even the reason you give is reason enough that they should not be handed control over Healthcare in Israel. sure there are some wonderful ones, but how are they vetted to know who harbors animus against the jewish ppl ? They aren't vetted at all. this IS a national security issue and should not be whitewashed.The Rambam Hospital reporting was not an isolated occurrence.

Anyone who develops a record of abuse or such to Jewish patients will be quickly found out. Regarding the soldier this was almost certainly miscommunication. Immediately after extubation you are classified as NPO, nothing per oral for several hours to ensure you don’t choke and in case you need to be reintubated. This is standard procedure. So the soldier asked for water and it was refused because of his medical status. His brother didn’t know or understand the medical protocol and believed they were withholding water from his brother purposely.

No argument there

does but explain locking family out

and that is one of the 4

The story was verified as problematic and nit an isolated incident

If a patient is agitated as most are after initial extubation, family and anyone else other than medical personnel are kept away to ensure if a crisis develops it can be handled without interference. This is simply ICU protocol. Nothing more. Nothing less than standard care.

Great so you want chareidi doctors who with their tzizit dragging from bed to bed as they lean over causing nosocomial infections….when they learn to accommodate modern science and medical practice they can study.

Keep this up…and you are heading for politics. When -or if-you do, please remember שנא את הרבנות!

Remodeling the base socialist governmental operation is a big ‘nut to crack’.

Well done- and fair and balanced.
