>Thousands of trainee doctors, including interns and resident doctors, walked off the job in February to protest a plan to lift medical student numbers by 2,000 a year to meet what the government projects will be a severe shortage of doctors.
>Hospitals that had relied on trainee doctors across multiple medical disciplines have had to turn away patients at emergency rooms, citing a shortage of staff, while existing doctors have experienced heavier workloads, the government said.
So what is the end game? Government recognizes issue of lack of doctors -> works toward training more doctors -> existing, overworked doctors refuse to work anymore -> medical system strained even more.
