A prospective patient in an experimental trial on immunotherapy for warts that I was performing was Palestinian. I advised him that I was Jewish, because I feared his reaction in the domain of an experimental therapeutic trial. The patient rhetorically asked whether I was a physician. If so, no problems should exist. He was admitted to the trial and healed. Reason and common interest may vanquish fear and mistrust. Can this teaching be applied to the Middle East situation? Hatred would have to be defeated first.
在我进行的一项关于免疫疗法治疗疣的临床试验中,有一位巴勒斯坦的潜在患者。我告诉他我是犹太人,因为我担心在实验治疗试验领域会引起他的反应。患者反问我是否是医生。如果是这样,就不应该有任何问题。他被接纳参加了试验并痊愈了。理性和共同利益可能会战胜恐惧和不信任。这一教义可以应用于中东局势吗?首先必须消除仇恨。
