'Be a Good Muslim and Leave It to Allah', Nurse Tells Father of Sick Baby

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A father claims he was told by a hospital nurse to "be a good Muslim" and leave control to Allah when his baby girl turned blue and started frothing at the mouth.

Murad Ali, 39, accused the nurse, who was also Muslim, of being unprofessional after the incident at the £261m Queen's Hospital in Romford, Essex.

Mr Ali said his two-year-old daughter began frothing at the mouth the day after being taken by ambulance to hospital with breathing problems.

But he said that he and his frantic wife Tamseel Fatimah, 38, were ignored by busy staff at the 939-bed hospital's A&E department and ward.

Both parents have trained to be doctors although they do not practice. » | Teleegraph reporters | Friday, February 08, 2013
