3. i have seen personaly the abuse and bad treatment
lost faith ,   in the health system   (08.05.09)
givin to patiants in the hospital , they make mistakes all the time , and they are willing to argue with you for ever that you are stuiped and that its there buisness which they know better than you , i have lost all faith in the medical system in israel , its nurses , doctors ,hospitals , and clinics , are all about buisness and nothing more ..
4. Perfect timing
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (08.05.09)
Just as we hear the Meah Shearim mom will be put on trial, we see that doctors really do perform experiments without patients' permission! Will she be vindicated?
5. Doctors
Miri ,   Israel   (08.05.09)
Do they still take the Hypocratic oath ? During my lifetime I've met a few miserable characters called "doctor". However, most still do the profession proud discounting a few exceptions. When I was much younger, I placed "doctor" in a category next to God !
6. Total arrogance on the part of the medical professionals
shadoil ,   Jerusalem   (08.05.09)
is so common in this country. Better to be sick at home alone and die quietly than to be butchered by these guys.
7. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (08.05.09)
First of all, these so-called doctors should have their licenses taken away and then - after a trial - be put in prison for a very long time!! And there has to be an investigation into every single hospital in the country!!!
8. None of these patients had relatives in Mea Shearim
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (08.05.09)
Who could be scapegoats for the abuse.
9. Abhorrent and unthinkable
Talula ,   Israel   (08.05.09)
that a doctor could do such an atrocious thing. Those are human beings for crying out aloud - someone's mother, father, grandmother, grandfather. It's digusting beyond words! Everyday, someone soars to new heights of disgust. What the hell is going on here!?!?!?!
10. Israel is in war with its physicians.
nero ,   nyc   (08.05.09)
I have never seen a country with so many criminal actions against its doctors, and actual hatred of doctors. These "experiments" were approved by the hospital research committees under Helsinki protocol, what else do you want. They were not life threatening in the least. Any physician who works in Israel is a fool. Work in the USA and earn ten times as much and have respect, and you wont get a heart attack at 40 from stress. Come to American Israeli doctors and be happy.
11. I WONDER
dave ,   Vienna   (08.05.09)
I wonder if maybe the starving mother was really saying the truth. Intresting how all the charadi basshers and haters will answer to this news.
12. HASHGACHA PRATIT!
(08.05.09)
One week Israeli doctors are caught experimenting on a child in Hadassah, a weeklater, Israeli doctors are caught experimenting in Romania and a week later, Israeli doctors are caught experimenting in Rechovot but only if the patient is secular can doctors be indicted.

David ,   Tel-Aviv   (08.05.09)
I'm a Doctor here in Israel. Maybe you can help me find a job in the States?
14. If you ever have the temerity to question a doctor ...
(08.05.09)
in an Israeli hospital - or ask for a second opinion - which patients take for granted outside of Israel as a matter of rights and good medicine - oy va voy l'cha! It is a big problem.
15. Watch this space
observer   (08.05.09)
I've seen this sort of thing going on for nearly 40 years - ever since a doctor's arrogance killed a friend. How does this sort of thing happen? Simple: Israel is a very small country and its 'educated elite' continuously try to imitate either the UK or more recently the US. But the model they have is rather outdated, particularly in the medical profession. In fact they just manage to parody the arrogant doctor of 60+ years ago, not realising that times have moved on, and this sort of behaviour doesn't wash any more, anywhere in the world. That said, the US doctors I know of in Israel are a blessing to the country.
16. This is the result of
Shira K   (08.12.09)
Experiments on the elderly...Horror! Evidently, this is the result of the many years of socialized health system. Is United States to follow with their Health Reform plan? Hopefully not!.
