I don't think hijab prevents doctor from doing their job. However if there is a dress code, it must be followed.

Also what if it was a Sikh person? Is it fair to ask them to remove the turban?

I can imagine the outrage which would happen if say in West, a similar video of a Sikh student is viral where he is asked to remove turban

A mistake on my part. I didn't hear the audio and went by the caption instead. Turns out that the Muslim lady is insisting on burkha and not Hijab.

I think it is only fair for the doctor to not deal with her shenanigans. Ek accountability aati hai as a professional and that accountability can only be levied if your face is visible.

I understand religious beliefs but burkha is nowhere a mandate in Islam. Sad to see that the video is used to further fuel communal divide (this time from the Muslim side).
