What This Muslim Doctor Did to a Jewish Congressman Didn’t Exactly Follow the Hippocratic Oath

In the traditional Hippocratic Oath, doctors pledge to conduct themselves with integrity and to apply their medical knowledge in a responsible and ethical manner, often described as acting in a “godly manner.” However, recent events involving Dr. Feras Hamdan, a family medicine physician based in Cleveland and affiliated with respected institutions such as the Cleveland Clinic and Ashtabula County Medical Center, reveal actions that starkly contradict this ideal — at least according to a universal standard of professional ethics and human decency.

According to a report by CNN on Friday, Dr. Hamdan was arrested following a complaint filed by Representative Max Miller (R-Ohio). The complaint, which alleged aggravated menacing, led Miller to also seek a protective order against Hamdan. The incident unfolded in Rocky River, a suburb of Cleveland, where Miller, who is Jewish, described a terrifying encounter during his commute.

On Thursday morning, Miller called 911 to report that he was being aggressively threatened on the freeway. He described how a driver had cut him off, gestured obscenely, and then brandished a Palestinian flag while shouting explicit threats. This driver was none other than Dr. Hamdan, who shouted the chilling words, “Death to Israel.”

Miller recounted the harrowing experience: “I’m still a bit shaken because I received direct death threats. I was driving to work when a man in a Tesla abruptly cut me off. He then displayed a Palestinian flag, rolled down his window, and threatened to cut my throat as well as my daughter’s, who is nearly two years old. He called me a ‘dirty Jew’ and said he was going to kill us all, claiming he knows exactly who I am and where I live.”

Despite carrying a weapon for self-defense, Miller said he chose restraint: “I’m grateful I didn’t have to use my weapon. But it’s deeply disturbing — this man openly threatened my life and the life of my young daughter. His actions on the road clearly showed an intent to intimidate, if not cause physical harm.”

The question of what consequences Dr. Hamdan will face remains unanswered. While his medical practice is now marked as “permanently closed” on Google, there has been no public announcement regarding suspension or investigation into his medical license. This leaves open serious concerns about accountability and whether such conduct, so starkly violating the trust inherent in the medical profession, will be addressed appropriately.

This incident is not isolated. It draws parallels to another troubling case involving Dr. Lara Kollab, a former osteopathic physician at the Cleveland Clinic, who made highly inflammatory remarks on social media. Kollab publicly stated on the platform X (formerly Twitter) that she intended to “purposely give all the yahood [Jews] the wrong meds.” She further posted a note during her medical studies that read, “People who support Israel should have their immune cells killed so they can see how it feels to not be able to defend yourself from foreign invaders.” Such statements underscore a disturbing pattern where medical professionals have expressed hostility toward Jewish individuals, raising profound ethical and professional questions.

Together, these incidents highlight a significant breach of the ethical standards that doctors swear to uphold — to heal without prejudice and to do no harm. When medical practitioners engage in targeted threats and express hateful intentions toward entire groups of people, it challenges the very foundation of trust and safety essential to healthcare.
