I do not think it is special treatment at all.Specifically asking for only female Doctors and Nurses to attend to female Muslim family members has never been a problem in my experience.In a hospital, you get the nurse that is assigned. Assignments aren't made with regard to religion.
That may be the case, but it's not a standard requirement or practice in hospitals. I know many nurses, and probably 1/4 of them are men. Truth be told, male nurses are usually excellent in their field, and if I had to choose, I'd rather have a male nurse because I trust their skills more as a general rule. If you make a special request for a nurse based on religous reasons, and you are accomodated, then you are getting special treatment.
But if the hospital has a male doctor or nurse treat any female muslim family member of mine after I specifically told them not to.
Then I will take them to court in a NY minute and retire wealhy.
