Doctors aren’t the only ones with power to end the strike. What about their demands? Doctors who aren’t getting what they need aren’t able to provide the best care either.
Understaffing, penny-pinching, forcing medical professionals to take on more and more work with no help, to say nothing of increased pay. These working conditions hurt patients chronically.
That’s why doctors and nurses strike. Especially THESE doctors - the new ones who just graduated from medical school. They’re the single most exploited group of people working in healthcare when you account for how little they are paid in comparison to how much they’re expected to work and how much revenue they generate.
In the US we call them resident doctors. In the UK junior doctors. I absolutely support their strike
