In a now-deleted Facebook post, a doctor from Madhya Pradesh Indore city shared her conversation with a Muslim patient from Maharashtra refusing treatment, solely on the basis of her religious identity.
Dr Neha Arora Verma, whose Instagram profile is described as “Spine Specialist, UK, PCOD Reversal Expert, Intimate Women Health
Specialist, Cosmetic Acupuncturist”, shared a screenshot of the conversation where the patient complained about her knee pain. Verma asks the patient’s name, to which the latter replies, ‘Mrs Farah Hussain.’
The doctor replies, “Am sorry, we are no longer taking any Muslim patients in our center. Hope you find someone better in your area.”
