It is called damage control. Shape the story, now that everyone is giving them bad press.<br /><br />Do you really think the Yediot Achronot and Kikar Shabbos could just go to a burqa lady and ask for an interview and get a positive response? Isnt there whole self-defined purpose to stay out of the public eye? They even say they take abuse silently and ignore it. Suddenly it is too much and they talk to the public? I don't buy it. I think they called Yediot and Kikar Shabbos and offered the interview so they could try to fight back, get their word out.Dovid Yosefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-26498874974947712002011-11-17T18:45:59.229+02:002011-11-17T18:45:59.229+02:00Baruch Hashem they are ok!

The birth was healthy and fine<br />2. Giving birth at home didnt - and never dose - cause a child to be born prematurely!<br />3. There was a slight issue and the Baby AND Mother went to the hospital, at the behest of the MOTHER<br />4. The Mother and baby were admitted just like ANY OTHER new birth - down to name tags on the baby's legsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-15028212310381687482011-11-15T12:42:37.547+02:002011-11-15T12:42:37.547+02:00or maybe they read the Egyptian version of birthin...or maybe they read the Egyptian version of birthing in Egypt, and assumed she'd just pop the baby out!MiriamSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-31729472032237838542011-11-14T19:36:16.297+02:002011-11-14T19:36:16.297+02:00anon - it is clear, even in halacha, that if he is...anon - it is clear, even in halacha, that if he is needed for the delivery he can do what is needed to be done. if they dont call any doctor or midwife to deliver, it is pikuach nefesh and then he can deliver.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-1750774185769681392011-11-14T18:56:23.370+02:002011-11-14T18:56:23.370+02:00How can it be preferable for a woman's husband...How can it be preferable for a woman's husband to deliver her baby?

When a pat...XYZ, hospitals are not shopping malls. When a patient comes into emergency it is an admission that they need urgent medical attention and are therefore willing to accept the first doctor and nurse available. If they want to be picky about who helps them then either<br />a) the problem is not urgent and therefore they should not be there or<br />b) they are mentally unsound because normal people confronted with urgent medical problems seek any help as soon as possible regardless of the gender or background of the competent provider available.<br />As for the Eida, this is a lost cause. For years the Eida and folks like them have been shouting "chumra! chumra! chumra!". Longer skirts, more shapeless shirts, stricter head coverings, etc. These nutbars have simply taken that to its logical conclusion. If covering one's forearms is minimally modest, then covering one's hands is ever more modest. If shapeless clothes are modest, then a burka is even more modest and don't we all want to be a strict as possible?Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttp://garnelironheart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-27551354675504185772011-11-14T13:31:16.181+02:002011-11-14T13:31:16.181+02:00Having said the above, if the hospital could have ...Having said the above, if the hospital could have accommodated them and didn't I'd hold them just as culpable.xyznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-2834229694118523692011-11-14T13:28:55.474+02:002011-11-14T13:28:55.474+02:00I am a homebirth supporter and I've birthed at...I am a homebirth supporter and I've birthed at home, but as any qualified midwife will tell you, in certain cases it is contraindicated and a hospital birth is sometimes necessary for the health and safety of mother or baby or both. Each case has to be evaluated individually, but from the sound of things I would highly doubt that the burka people are concerned with health and safety.<br /><br />As far as the burn treatment, yes people sometimes insist on waiting for a specific doctor for certain treatments but this was emergency treatment that they delayed, not because another doctor was better qualified to provide better medical treatment and an improved outcome but for totally unrelated reasons that certainly could have caused physical harm, a decidedly worse outcome.xyznoreply@blogger.com
