this is not a strike done by Private hospitals, a Strike on Government hospitals.

The sad part is reluctantly I will support, as the doctor was threatened with death and a grenade hurled at his residence. Given the fact that law and order is at its lowest ebb….. we the citizens now have very little option in what to expect. I cant fathom the fact that respect, honesty, ethics, values have just disappeared……..Land like no other indeed

Who intimidate and what was the reason ? Doctors, please think of the mostly poor patients who seek treatment at tthe Gov. hospital....your actions does not carry much weight with the rich people of this country..

Nowhere in the oath does it say that the doctor should work under threat and intimidation from rascals.

This country is getting from bad to worse. Each and every thug or politician thinks they can take the law into his own hands.

These Doctors thinks they are the kinds of this country... They should immediatly stop risking life of innocent people.

Doctors work in very difficult situation. Many are going abraod. Go to a gov hospital and few doctors looking after many patients without fascilities. If you want to have a good service from doctors ask your political masters to respect doctors do no intimidate them and provide them with facilities.
