Rumor – A nurse in Germany allegedly wrote a letter denouncing that Muslims were refusing treatment in hospitals.
Analysis
A text that allegedly comes from a nurse in Germany about the treatment of Muslims in the country’s hospitals has been circulating on social media for years. The account, which describes chaotic situations and accuses immigrants of hindering the medical staff’s work, is mostly shared during moments of tension around immigration in Europe.
The text makes serious accusations, such as alleged refusal by Muslim patients to be treated by women, assaults on doctors and nurses, and an imminent collapse of Germany’s healthcare system due to immigrant influx. Read the circulating content:
*NURSE IN GERMANY SENDS MESSAGE TO THE WORLD* (An open letter – Revealing) Yesterday at the hospital, we had a meeting about how the situation here and in other Munich hospitals is unsustainable. Clinics can’t handle the number of emergency migrant cases, so they’re sending them all to the main hospitals. Many Muslims are refusing treatment from female staff, and we, women, are now refusing to go to these migrants. Relationships between staff and migrants are going from bad to worse. Since last weekend, migrants going to hospitals must be accompanied by police with K-9 units. * Many migrants have ADHD, syphilis, open tuberculosis, and many exotic diseases we in Europe don’t know how to treat.* If they get a prescription at the pharmacy, they find out they have to pay cash, which leads to incredible outbursts, especially when it comes to children’s medicine. *They abandon the children to the pharmacy staff with the words: Then you cure them yourselves.* So now the police are not only guarding clinics and hospitals but also large pharmacies.
*We openly ask where are all those who welcomed the migrants on TV cameras with signs at train stations? Yes, for now, the border has been closed, but a million of them are already here and we will definitely not be able to get rid of them.* Until now, the unemployment rate in Germany was 2.2 million. Now it will be at least 3.5 million. *Most of these people are completely unemployed.* Only a few have any education. *Also, their women generally do not work.* I estimate that one in ten is pregnant. *Hundreds of thousands have brought babies and toddlers under six, many emaciated and in need.* If this continues and Germany reopens its borders, I will go home to the Czech Republic. No one can keep me here in this situation, not even for double my home salary. I came to Germany to work, not to Africa or the Middle East! Even the professor heading our department said how sad it is to see this, but it’s worth reading… especially the cleaner, who has cleaned for years every day for 800 euros *and then finds crowds of young people in the corridors who just wait with their hands out, expecting for free, and when they don’t get it, they throw tantrums.* I really don’t need this, but I fear that if I go home, eventually it will be the same in the Czech Republic. *If the Germans, with their systems, can’t handle this, then at home it will be complete chaos…*
*You, who haven’t had contact with these people, have no idea what kind of misbehaving thugs these people are and how Muslims act superior to our staff regarding religious accommodation.* *So far, the local hospital staff haven’t contracted the diseases these people brought, but with hundreds of patients every day, it’s only a matter of time.* *At a hospital near the Rhine, migrants attacked staff with knives after delivering an 8-month-old baby near death, dragged through Europe for three months. The child died two days later, despite the best care in one of Germany’s best pediatric clinics. The pediatrician had to undergo surgery and two nurses are recovering in the ICU. No one was punished. The local press is banned from writing about it, so we can only inform you by email. What would’ve happened to a German if he had stabbed the doctor and nurses with a knife? Or thrown his own syphilis-infected urine in a nurse’s face, threatening her with infection? At the very least, he would’ve gone straight to jail and then to court. With these people, nothing happened so far. So I ask: Where are all those station greeters and welcomers? Sitting at home, enjoying their uncomplicated and safe lives.
Fact-check
The story has all the hallmarks of fake news. And upon analysis, we confirmed it’s indeed false. Let’s verify by answering the following: 1) Did a nurse write a letter venting about Muslims in Germany? 2) Are the accounts of Muslims in Germany real? 3) What else is wrong with the text?
Did a nurse write a letter venting about Muslims in Germany?
There is no proof that the text was written by a real nurse. The content has been circulating since 2015 and has also been shared as a doctor’s report. However, no reliable source has confirmed the letter’s authenticity. As noted in a Snopes fact-check, this is a rumor that spread during the rise of immigration to Germany.
Are the accounts of Muslims in Germany real?
There are no reliable records confirming the claims in the text. The portal Vartha Bharati analyzed the message and concluded it was false. The text speaks of hospitals requiring police presence to treat migrants, but there’s no evidence this happened on a large scale. In 2015, the British newspaper Express reported that immigration increased pressure on some health units, but without any mention of the scenarios described in the hoax.
What else is wrong with the text?
Besides lacking authorship proof, the message contains numerous unfounded allegations. One of the most alarming parts talks about “migrants attacking doctors with knives” and mentions a fictitious case involving an eight-month-old baby. However, there are no records of such an incident, nor of German press being banned from reporting on migrant attacks.
Another error is the claim that Muslims reject treatment by women. While some cultural factors may influence preferences, hospitals in Germany follow strict treatment protocols, and there are no widespread reports of such conflicts.
Finally, the text generalizes immigrants as “misbehaving thugs,” reinforcing a xenophobic and discriminatory tone without any factual basis. In short: it is a fake and completely disposable text.
Conclusion
The alleged report from a nurse in Germany about Muslims refusing treatment in hospitals has no verification. The text has been circulating for years and includes various false or distorted claims, reinforcing a xenophobic narrative not based in reality. In addition, independent fact-checks have already debunked the allegations.
