South Korea granted nurses new powers and legal protections Tuesday, and launched an investigation into a patient's death, as hospital chaos caused by striking trainee doctors entered a second week.
Ah, my mistake. I’m surprised people can be so publicly selfish as to actively strike against the notion that there should be a greater amount of people who can save lives…
Not quite that easy either, from my understanding they’re not paid like doctors in other developed countries, i.e. it’s not a top paying job. And they see this as a threat to “solving” that issue. Now we could argue that doctors maybe are overpaid in many cases, and if they’re “really” underpaid then opening up more slots for education won’t actually lead to any more applicants, thus the shortage will continue until salaries increase.

So I still think that the doctor strike is iffy.
