    Senior journalist: “Tel Aviv is becoming the Berlin of the past”
    News 0404, 31/07/2023

    The media person Shimon Riklin from Channel 14 commented this evening (Monday) on the news published today in the media, according to which there is concern about a new procedure in Ichilov, in light of the fact that cancer patients were asked about the religious stream they belong to.

    The patients, who came for treatments at the radiation institute, were actually asked by the nurses if they were ultra-orthodox, religious or secular.

    Therefore, Riklin wrote: “Those who do not understand that Tel Aviv is turning into the Berlin of the past, do not know how to identify processes. If violent anti-Semitism and hatred of foreigners continue, Tel Aviv will sink into the abyss and be destroyed. The writing is on the wall and it shines.”

    Being asked about one’s religiosity is not antisemitic in and of itself. Issues of kashrut, chaplaincy services and the permissibility of an autopsy all depend on the patient’s religious orientation.

    I don’t know if this is true, but if it is I think the Religious parties should ban together to decertify the hospital. Also I think Shas is in charge of Health Portfolio so it shouldn’t be hard to do especially after the doctor’s one day strike protesting the current governments judicial overhaul.

    for those who don’t know, ichilov is a hospital, not a leftist centre.

    The fact that that type of question is being asked is very troublesome. Are they denying proper service as per one’s religiosity. are they denying care to those who are religious I’m sure they would have no problem serving a Christian or moslem

    Assuming the facts are as stated, and this is not just an isolated individual in the hospital asking these questions on their own, this is very troublesome.

    In medicine, providers should look at the patient beyond their own biases. While at times that may be difficult to do as we all have our cognitive biases and personal beliefs, there should not be an active effort to insert any biases, whatever they may be, especially religious or ideological, when it comes to treating patients.

    In Israel it’s usually obvious from their external appearance as to which section of society a patient is from.
    So, we can assume that they need an official “statement” from the patient.
    This points to a statistical survey being taken rather than a treatment policy based on anti-frum bias.

    They should have asked for Shomer Shabbat, nor haredi or dati.

    It was only related to screening on Shabbat. Not about Kashrut.
