Gee gordy, why don't you post the whole quote?
Two years ago, a significant conflict arose during Ms Zia's antenatal consultation at a Monash clinic because she requested a female doctor.
Particular emphasis on the word "requested". Could it be the case, heaven forbid, that the "significant conflict" was a case of hospital staff not taking too kindly to the request? Who knows, maybe they were particularly stressed that day, inexperienced, or just plain intolerant towards a woman in...how did you say? - oh yes, 'beekeeper outfit'. All possible, as indeed is your version - the difference with me is I'm not jumping to baseless conclusions because of an irrational prejudice.
But isn't this an interesting response from Ms Zia:
Quote:"I'm not scared to ask for a female doctor anymore and I'm relieved that other women won't have the same experience I had," she said.
and this...
Quote:Professor Wallace said the hospital had been "clumsy" in communicating the choices on offer to its patients.
"I'm not scared...anymore"... hmmm - interesting choice of words for someone supposedly going around making demands no? Could that possibly suggest she received a less-than-understanding response when she made the request, and maybe that was the cause of the "significant conflict" ?
Also, lets talk about that 'taliban' husband...
- Did the horrible mysoginistic husband create a scene? - No, you just made that up
- Was the horrible mysoginistic husband even involved? - No that is just your baseless assumption
- Is the husband horrible and mysoginistic? No, thats just your prejudiced stereotype
Amazing how you can turn what you, me, the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission, and it seems the rest of civilized humanity all agree was a request that was "perfectly reasonable" - and should have been an available option at the time - into a rant about sinister 'taliban' muslims and their 'bronze age' views, attempting to change our way of life.
