Our guest is Ahmed, a Jordanian medical student studying in Turkey. Because he is of middle eastern descent and has a darker skin color, he was associated with being a Syrian refugee multiple times in his work environment. Patients verbally and physically harassed him for having an appearance that resembles that of a Syrian refugee, which he finds to be extremely offensive and disrespectful. We discussed the underlying reasons for the rampant discrimination and segregation toward Syrians and Arabs in Turkey. He has encountered several instances in which Turkish doctors brazenly assaulted pregnant Syrian women. He reiterated the unquestionable statement that doctors must carry out the duty of treating every patient the same way regardless of their gender, ethnicity, religion, or race.
