A GP has revealed he is planning to quit medicine over an investigation by the doctors watchdog into claims he ‘discriminated’ against a Muslim woman for asking her to remove her veil. This is why you are waiting so long to see your GP and doctors are leaving in droves. The doctor said he ‘politely’ asked the woman to remove the veil covering her face so he could be sure what she was saying. ‘I asked her, would you kindly remove your face veil please because it makes communication very difficult,’ Dr Wolverson explained. It says the woman told the doctor she did not want to remove the veil on religious grounds but he refused to continue the consultation unless she did.
