3 Cities Fighting Hygiene Battle With Muslim Hospital Workers
Thursday , February 28, 2008
Muslim medical workers in three major English cities are balking at
hospital hygiene rules such as rolling up their sleeves when they scrub
for surgery, according to The Daily Mail.
Health officials have been ready to wash their hands of the dispute, but
at least one hospital is bending to the requests.
Female med students and staff at hospitals in at least a trio of large
British cities Liverpool, Leicester and Sheffield have continued to
flat-out refuse to comply with regulations aimed at fending off germs
and infections, the Mail reported, with some saying they'd rather quit
than expose their arms.

I am surprised you entitled this "Primitives" - surely "religious" would be
more appropriate?
Unless you consider all religion and the religious "Primitive".
(And I would not be at all surprised if you do!)

Within that context, varying fantasies
and observations occur, and clash,
as time goes by.
