Re: Doctors have no right to strike (Re: omer osman)

The picture of a “doctors’ strike” is blatantly repulsive anyway you look at it. Even when only the “junior doctors” go on a strike, patients in need of urgent medical care are denied life-saving treatment because the junior medicos form the backbone of healthcare in the hospitals. The most unfortunate aspect of the present junior “doctors’ strike” in Patna is that most of the victims would be the patients who hail from the lower socioeconomic strata of the society since they have choice to attend the pricy private hospitals. One thing is absolutely certain is that the ultimate price of any “doctors’ strike” is always paid by the defenseless patients– sometimes literally through their lives as many patients have already died because of the present strike by the junior doctors in Patna. Obviously, doctors do not have a moral right to go on a “strike” at the expense of the vulnerable patients.
