South Korean doctors went on a collective strike

The little doctors began to rebel, the interns had a big temper, and Yin Xiyue was anxious. More than 10,000 interns and residents in South Korea have submitted resignations, and nearly 9,000 of them are actually absent. 80.5% of resident doctors and interns are absent, leading to serious problems. A patient in his 80s died when he arrived at the university hospital after being denied admission due to the lack of beds, professional medical personnel, and inability to treat critically ill patients in the hospital during the ambulance transfer. South Korea's Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min called on them to return to their posts as soon as possible, and promised that if they can return to work before the 29th of this month, they will not be held accountable.

However, the reason for the fierce reaction of South Korean doctors is a health care reform plan in South Korea: the expansion of medical student enrollment. To address the shortage of doctors, the number of medical school students enrolled will increase from the current 3,058 to 5,058, and by 2035, South Korea will add about 10,000 new doctors. Among the 38 OECD countries, South Korea has the second-lowest number of doctors per capita, with only 2 per 1,000 people6 doctors, less than in the United States, Germany and Mexico. However, the Korean Doctors' Association is concerned that the increase in graduates will affect their income, so it has taken the lead**. At first, he was tough, and then he was forced to compromise, and this is the fourth time that he has been forced to compromise. So are there many doctors in Korea? According to the data, the number of doctors in South Korea is relatively small. It seems that 60 yuan a pound of Korean cabbage is not a problem, so what is the matter of adding 10,000 doctors? South Korea's response "this time" started strongly, saying that doctors who resigned and went on strike would be severely punished, and could even face up to three years in prison.

However, after 70 or 80 percent of the resident interns have made a fuss, they don't play for a week, and I'm afraid that this plan will face many difficulties in realizing it. South Korea** showed another cowering posture, hugging the thick thighs of the United States tightly, crying and seeking asylum. In the face of the attitude of the United States, the authority of Yoon Suk-yeol can be seen. By the way, the ** price of Chinese cabbage for 60 yuan per pound is also due to the fact that the Korean Agricultural Association does not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the Korean people out of its own interests. All kinds of pressures followed, opposition parties, association suppression, public contempt, and Yoon Suk-yeol was anxious, all of which ruthlessly exposed his true face. South Korean society does not seem to be optimistic about Yoon Suk-yeol**, which may be a true portrayal of his real situation.
