of course it isnt :s-smilie:

If yo didnt want a female nurse washing you i wouldnt wash you, thats treating you differently due to your beliefs. Im merly trying to determin what is fact and what is fiction concerning what ive been told.

Male/female contact should be avoided if at all possible.

Placing a latex tube into you uretha and bladder to drain off urine. The care would mean i would have to pay particualr attention to your genitles to stop any infection or bacteria growing. I need to know if it matters if a different sex does it, if a health care proffesional washes your genitles.

Basically Muslims would be more comfortable if a doctor/nurse of the same sex treated them.

is there any issues with someone outside the family washing you?

Nope, as long as its someone of the same sex, it isn't a problem.

nope id doesnt matter who does the washing, but if for example if the patient is a female, then if there is a female nurse then the female nurse should do the care. However if there is no female nurse then it is permissible for a male nurse to do it.
