    Ramadan is fucked.

    At first I was like idgf what people do. But then my mate told me every Ramadan doctors and nurses collapse while on the job due to Ramadan.

    Just imagine telling some kid “sorry your mum died, but the nurse fucked up the medicine because she was incredibly dehydrated because some guy that lived in a tent 2000 years ago commanded it”.

    They should have to use their holiday days. Or just do their fucking job.

      Yeah they’re not supposed to be fasting. Anyone who has even the slightest physical reason is excused. The poor, the ill, the old, the young, the pregnant, the required workers like doctors, police, fire, power line guys, etc …

      If doctors and nurses are fasting it’s because they want to and if they’re passing out then they should be taking immediate steps to rectify that because they now fall into the ill category.

      While people who are ill and nurses/doctors are excluded from fasting, I have no doubt some of them still do.
