Well for the surgeon the idea is presumably that the patient is hardly likely to be in a state to harrass her, though I wouldn't put it past the typical Saudi male in the middle of having open heart surgery performed on him to reach for his mobile phone and start bombarding the female cardiologist with obscene messages by bluetooth. |
Thanks for the laugh!
But honestly, in such privacy and proximity, a "typical Saudi male" is more likely to reach for something else than his phone, going by all the escapades of young Saudis in the US/UK/Egypt/Lebanon/UAE/Morocco/etc I keep hearing from their own mouths. |
