Dr. Crippen tries to make sense of it:
. . . let us hope that there is not going to be yet another wave of racism in the NHS.I fear, however, that the gutter press and the sleazy media will indeed fuel the flames of racism. I fear there will be a backlash against doctors from the middle-east and Asia, and most of our Moslem doctors. Not all the Moslem doctors of course, only the non-white Moslem doctors.
There is understandable fear and confusion. The Hippocratic Oath does not encompass terrorism. But doctors, like architects, solicitors and bank clerks, can fight for causes in which they believe.
