Diary of a doctor fighting corona virus: Why is Bradford's Pakistani-born doctor receiving disturbing messages?
Some in the Bradford Asian community in the UK are spreading fake news and rumors that non-white patients will be left to die in hospital. Dr. John Wright of the Bradford Royal Infirmary asked an anesthesiologist why he was receiving messages from Galum Gluch.
The isolation of patients from these communities in the hospital has given rise to uncertainty and false rumors. This is happening in cities across the country, and Bradford is no exception.
It is sometimes claimed that patients from black, Asian and other ethnic minorities have higher mortality rates because they are being killed by the same staff who should have helped them.
However, this is more of a nuisance for Muslim physicians and thus their dedication and professionalism is questioned and those who are working in long shifts while fasting in the code wards during the holy month of Ramadan.
A colleague of mine, Fauzia Hayat, who is an anesthesia consultant, told me that she had recently received a very stupid message from a local man.
The background to this was that a few days ago, Fauzia's husband had tried to refute the rumors circulating for weeks that people were being left to die in hospitals. He asserted that his confession had been obtained through torture, and that his wife, Fauzia, worked in the intensive care unit of the infirmary.
After that, Fauzia started forwarding videos, most of which she did not even watch. However, one of them caught his eye and he sent a short reply.
According to him, he specifically tried to say, "Be careful what you are sharing and look at the arguments of both sides." It's important to make sure you have all the information, otherwise you could be harmed, you could stop someone from coming to the hospital. "
Despite the start of Ramadan, abusive messages continued and one text message was particularly offensive.
Fauzia explains: 'I was sent a message saying that NHS workers work for bonuses, that we are taking money to give a death certificate to a cod and we are basically John Taking money to take. I think it's very cruel to say that to someone. "
The message accuses doctors of forcing people to sign "do not reset" forms. It also states that Code 19 does not really exist.
The message added: 'Please stop selling your conscience and become a mushroom and stand up for the truth. You will be held responsible in the court of Allah for the death of these people and for their negligence in this life and this life is very short.
Then Fauzia searched the internet for the meaning of 'becoming a mushroom' and found out that it is used for a person who is kept in the dark, that is, nothing is said or he is given wrong information.
She says: 'This is the month of Ramadan and we are fasting. We are practicing (Muslims) so it is very painful for someone to send me a message saying, 'You have sold your conscience, you are corrupt, you are a mushroom ... Your hands are stained with blood. '
He was also surprised that the message was sent to him by a successful Bradford businessman. "You don't expect such a person to get caught up in fake news."
Fauzia said: "He seemed very intelligent and that's what's more disturbing."
"It's okay to have your own opinion, but don't be cruel and don't accuse people. This is the month of Ramadan and it is a month of grief and generosity towards each other.
He said he feared that one or two rumor mongers would persuade patients to stay away from the hospital who really needed care.
Hospital data shows that the results of our white and South Asian patients are equally good, but this kind of speculation risks loss of life and worsens the situation.
We also know that black and South Asian patients as a whole are at higher risk of dying from code 19, so it is important for them to get proper care without delay.
Fauzia complained to the police about the offensive message. But then he showed compassion and decided not to take it any further.
Instead, on the advice of Zulfi Karim, head of the Council of Mosques in Bradford, she is going to talk about it on Radio Ramadan. And they will reassure people that if they are sick, they will be cared for in a hospital, regardless of race or creed.
