Top doc axed in bust-up after reporting Muslim surgeon's hijab was 'spotted with blood' before an NHS operation Whistleblower axed after revealing scarf bust-up in online interview
An NHS consultant has been suspended for revealing how a Muslim surgeon refused to remove her hijab for an operation — even though it broke hospital health rules.
Dr Vladislav Rogozov said in a blog that he confronted her as they scrubbed up when he realised she planned to keep the Islamic scarf on during surgery.
He claimed the hijab was spotted with blood from previous operations. But she refused to remove it and walked out, forcing the hospital to find a stand-in.
