An Egyptian doctor calls out his Islamic fundamentalist colleagues:
A growing number of Islamic fundamentalist doctors are putting their patients’ health at risk by telling them to fast during the holy month of Ramadan, a prominent Egyptian doctor said.
“We have noticed that brain and heart accidents are on the rise towards the end of Ramadan,” Mohammed Ahmed Nasr, a professor of cardiac surgery from the Egyptian National Heart Institute, told AFP.
“In Islam, one who is suffering from an ailment is not compelled to fast but there are bearded doctors who are simply not telling their patients the truth,” he said.
