Rapid Response:

Israeli Hospital staffing

Tony Delamothe appears unaware that Israeli hospitals employ Arabs or
Jews simply by virtue of their qualification, just as they treat Arabs or
Jews simply by virtue of their needs. An example of the former is the
Afula hospital see www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/328/7434/295 and
undoubtedly there are many more.
Similarly the latter case is described by the BMJ, see
