Latest reviews of Care of Muslim Patients –- A Practical Guide app for iPhone and iPad
.
The app is a large download with approx. 2 percent available for free. They need to separate the free app from the $10.00 app. Info was somewhat helpful but mostly generalizes
This app is horrible. It tells not to torture or abuse your patient. It also stresses to listen and not refuse treatment. It is as if these etiquettes apply to your Muslim patients and no one else. It is as if we have to show respect to people of the Muslim faith only. Please disregard this app.
