“Doctor wants to work only with men: allegations against Minden Clinic,” translated from “Arzt will nur mit Männern zusammenarbeiten: Vorwürfe gegen Klinikum Minden,” by Carolin Nieder-Entgelmeier, NW, April 2, 2019 (thanks to Searchlight Germany):

Minden. Two employees of the Johannes Wesling Clinic Minden have accused the clinic leadership of gender discrimination. The allegations are directed against a doctor who refuses to cooperate with women in the operating room. His request was implemented, according to the staff on the roster, so that the physician is supported during operations exclusively by men. The Mühlenkreiskliniken, which includes the Johannes Wesling Klinikum, has explained in response to a request that the allegations cannot be confirmed.

The allegations are serious: “I’ve seen several times how the doctor threw me and other surgical assistants out of the operating room, because he does not want to work with women,” explains a colleague who does not want to give her name for fear of reprisals. According to the employee, the doctor has only been working in Minden for a few years and comes from the Middle East. “The doctor’s behavior is discriminatory, so we have no sympathy for the fact that the hospital management tolerates his actions and even implements his wishes in an adapted duty schedule.”

According to the colleague, superiors do not take complaints seriously. “Instead, we are accused of targeting the doctor, although the hospital is urgently reliant on foreign doctors.” This accusation hits the employee particularly. “Our criticism is not directed against his origin, but against his behavior. Instead of sanctioning the doctor for his discriminatory action, those affected are now accused of discrimination.”

Employees fear reprisals

According to the employee, the behavior of the doctor irritates the entire team and puts a strain on the working atmosphere. “Above all, the women in the team do not feel taken seriously.” The allegations are confirmed by another employee who also works as an operations assistant in the Minden clinic and has also witnessed how colleagues had to leave the operating room….
