Unfortunately, I have spent more time in doctors' offices than I would like, and even a few times in Emergency Rooms.
One of the things I started noticing in the past few years is that signs have gone up in medical facilities explaining that violence against medical personnel will not be tolerated. Basic etiquette, such as respecting the people around you and not shouting, apparently now needs to be explained.
To me, at least, seeing these signs is jarring, as is the more frequent appearance of armed guards in suburban hospitals.
I can't pinpoint when these signs went up, but I think we all know why they have in more and more places: there is a growing population of people who are not acculturated to the norms of living in a high-trust society, and we must, at best, instruct them on how to behave, and at worst must coerce them into doing so.
We're not supposed to talk about the fact that this has happened, nor the reasons why it has. You are a bad person for having noticed.
But what if you WORK in such an environment and the growing threat to your own well-being is a daily fact of life?
Well, apparently you share your stories anonymously.
“If two Arab boys need to be taken care of, I’m not sending two girls in.” “As soon as certain surnames come up, we bring in the police.”

“If two Arab boys need to be taken care of, I’m not sending two girls in.” “As soon as certain surnames come up, we bring in the police.”
An emergency nurse in Germany told German newspaper Die Welt about the enormous precautions hospitals need to take while treating clan members. People shouldn't have to live like this in what was once one of the highest trust societies in the world.
“It usually doesn't take long for 20, 30, 40 family members to show up in front of the hospital. They have special Telegram groups where they alert each other, and they want to make their presence felt in a way that's often aggressive: 'We're here; we stand by our people—and you can expect trouble if anything happens to them.' In these circles, it's common for the mothers and women to scream loudly and in high drama. This high noise level is a stress factor for the staff and also for the patients."
This article appeared in Die Welt, which is considered the paper of record in Germany. Europeans often call it a broadsheet, another term for an establishment newspaper like The New York Times in the United States, rather than a tabloid like The New York Post. Tabloids don't shy away from controversies or taking a stand, or even a bit of sensationalism, while broadsheets love to portray themselves as the Joe Friday of news sources.
So when a newspaper like Die Welt does more than tiptoe into a topic like third-world immigration, especially when it is a third-rail issue among the elites, you know that the problem they are describing is real and reaching crisis levels that can no longer be ignored.
In this case, the crisis is that the Third World behavior that has kept these countries s**tholes is now becoming common enough in Germany that hospitals are having trouble functioning.
Berlin emergency nurse has described how treating members of Arab criminal clans can turn hospital wards into security operations, with police called in, large groups of family members flooding into facilities and medical personnel taking precautions to protect themselves.
Speaking to Welt under the pseudonym Felix Wolf, the nurse said he has worked in a Berlin hospital for around ten years. He described gunshot and stabbing victims as a recurring feature of emergency work and said some of those involved are increasingly young. When certain surnames associated with known Arab clan families appear, he said, staff alert security and police.
Wolf said relatives can arrive rapidly after a clan member is admitted, mobilizing through dedicated Telegram groups. He described situations in which medical personnel face intimidation and threats if an injured relative’s condition deteriorates. According to a separate account of his testimony, he no longer wears a name badge because he fears being identified outside the hospital.
The nurse said he also changes how he deploys staff when treating young Arab or Muslim men. ‘If two Arab boys have to be treated, I don’t send two girls in,’ he told Welt, saying he ensures a male colleague is present. Wolf also said he tries to keep colleagues with recognizably Jewish surnames away from such cases.
Of course, we have had similar problems here in the United States with urban gang members for quite a while, but with the importation of third-worlders, the problems have metastasized beyond the urban hospitals where we unfortunately grew used to them occurring.
For instance, my own doctors and hospital visits have been in suburban areas, and while I have not witnessed violent interactions, they apparently now occur regularly enough as immigrant groups spread from urban areas outward. Unlike black and latino gangs, which have been concentrated in urban areas, third-world immigrants have been leaving urban areas and spreading out, taking their dysfunction with them.
In Germany, the problem seems concentrated with Muslim members of clans, members of whom show up whenever a member is injured. They gather, intimidate doctors and nurses, and their behavior ranges from highly disruptive to downright frightening.
The admission of clan members creates a veritable state of emergency, says ‘Felix’:
Fortunately, in our case the police have always arrived more quickly than the relatives. Then 15–20 police vehicles arrive with hundreds of police officers, and for five to ten minutes you hear nothing but sirens. Everything is cordoned off, not just the hospital grounds, but entire streets, sometimes even the next underground station. It makes quite an impression. They carefully check in advance who is allowed to drive where, stop cars and carry out identity checks.
The police are normally present before many others in the clan manage to reach the injured member, who is often accompanied by two or three others.
It usually does not take long before 20, 30, 40 family members turn up outside the hospital. They have their own Telegram groups in which they keep one another updated, and often aggressively seek to make their presence felt: ‘We are here; we support our people – and you had better be prepared for something if anything happens to them.’ In these circles, it is common for the mothers and women to scream loudly and very dramatically. This high noise level is a stress factor both for the staff and for the patients. At the hospital this can be managed to a certain extent; at the scene of an incident it is considerably more difficult.
The nurses’ worst nightmare is that the clan member dies in hospital.
It may sound malicious, but we are relieved every time the injured person dies at the scene rather than with us. The stress that police officers have to endure in such cases is enormous: Since there is usually no one left from the hostile clan, the police and emergency personnel are attacked: ‘Help him, then! Do something!’ – and the women sit beside them screaming as though they were being impaled.
The nurses become nervous at the thought that the police might not be able to step in to support them, ‘Felix’ says.
To what extent can we rely on receiving support if we ever have to defend ourselves? So far we have always been fortunate enough that nothing worse has happened, but perhaps you remember the camera footage from New Year’s Eve, when a nurse was beaten unconscious at another hospital? Things like that happen too.
Many clinics offer courses in self-defence or de-escalation. But I am not particularly enthusiastic about this. Many courses try to ‘professionalise’ dangerous situations in a way that leads to a kind of reversal of the perpetrator-victim roles. Why should I adapt to a situation caused by the fact that the other party has not learnt how to behave properly?
‘Felix’ wants to remain anonymous to the clan members.
I have not worn a name badge in the emergency department for several years because I do not want to be identifiable. We take precautions: When two Arab boys need to be treated, I do not send two girls in, but at least one man. In such cases, I also try to keep colleagues with Jewish surnames out of it.
Anyone who dares to talk about what kind of clientele creates these problems is immediately reprimanded by the system.
‘You mustn’t put it like that; it’s too generalising,’ they say. That may be true – but we simply do not have these difficulties with other groups. The fact that we cannot raise this issue is a problem. I am constantly accused of racism. Colleagues in healthcare and the police understand what I mean. In certain circles in Berlin, however, this subject is regarded as socially unacceptable.
Of course, the problems with clan members are connected with immigration policy. And politics has undoubtedly failed to set clear boundaries, particularly in Berlin.
Even as a whistleblower, the anonymous nurse who spoke to Die Welt wants it known that he is not a member of the AfD or one of those "bad" people who oppose immigration; he only wants the behavior to stop and to have somebody do something about it.
The problem with that attitude is obvious: what needs to be done about it is to keep Muslim immigrants out of Europe, because that is the only way to do so.
But that remains outside the Overton Window, since it smacks of prejudice, even though it really isn't. Prejudice is assuming negative things before you have evidence to back up your negative impressions; responding to a reality that everybody with half a brain can see is not prejudice, but good judgment.
Is it true that not all Arabs or Muslims are like this? Of course it is.
But when you are talking about mass immigration, you can't screen each migrant for whether they are civilized or not. When you are admitting people one by one, you can, but that is not how immigration works. You wind up admitting people in large groups, and some groups are more likely, statistically, to be inclined to melt into the larger population, and others are not.
That's just reality, and we should expect our leaders to deal with reality, not some abstract sense of what ought to be in an ideal world.
