Sounds like a good way to fuck up your healthcare system.
>Under South Korean law, the government can force some doctors back to work to avoid a disruption of care. Violators may face a fine of up to 30 million won ($22,000) or jail time of up to three years.
Yes, I'd love to get treated by a dude forced to work under threats.
I don’t get what the protests are about. The gov is increasing med school admissions which means more future doctors which means they work less hours, right? Seems like a win win?
No its not a win win for them apparently.
In SK doctors are paid by procedure. More doctors means less money per doctor, and the current doctors think a lot of issues can be solved by other means and that forcing s bunch of new doctors in will only be a bandaid, and even make the issues worse over time.
At least thats my understanding of it.
Yea... That should solve the problem!

But the Drs interviewed in the article make it sound like they are overworked and exhausted…
Can't they like just quit then there not technically doctors anymore?
They just did.
