How About "Oops, the Scalpel Slipped?"

In Germany, a Jewish surgeon refused to operate on a man with a swastika tattoo.

In some emergency circumstances, by German law the surgeon would have been required to operate, ethical considerations be damned.

What would you have done?

I can understand the doctor's perspective but I think that he missed a greater chance for psy-ops.

I would have operated, then introduced myself to the neo-nazi; making sure he knew my religion.

Here is an opportunity to have the neo-nazi remember every day that he owes his life to a Jewish Doctor.

I agree with Bob S.
Too bad there wasn't some way to give him a transfusion from a known Jewish donor... ;)
