Greetings from a Fellow Health Worker!

Assalamu alaikum, everyone! I work in healthcare here in the States and am just starting out as an instructor. I was wondering, for my fellow Muslims, what are the things you wish medical staff understood better about our faith? What are the best ways we can support you and make you feel comfortable when you're getting treatment?

Knowing halal/haram meds and food options is a big one. Also, helping with wudu if a patient has mobility issues.

Just asking, like you are, is the best first step. Makes us feel seen.

Thank you for asking! It would mean so much if staff knew about the importance of modesty during exams, especially for women. A female provider when possible is a huge comfort.

Respecting the fast during Ramadan is key. Please don't assume we can just break it without a valid reason.
