re: Shahbaz Sharif vs Doctors
Shahbaz Sharif has taken too long to act. Doctors should not be allowed to strike at all, not even for a day. All the patients visiting govt hospitals are lower middle class folks, who usually travel from far flung places to Lahore for a check up by a supposedly better doctor at a better hospital with better facilities. These young doctors have disgraced the profession by striking, leaving countless people without basic medical care. Who knows, many people may have even died because of the neglect of these heartless people.
I am all for banning all these strikers. Their salaries are more than salaries of doctors from all other provinces. I dont know what makes them extra special. Plus, didnt they just strike last year and get a pay raise? Now they are asking for a ‘pay structure’, which means, they want to be paid the same wages as those doctors working at private hospital, and get their salaries incremented every year in an obscene manner, which is an implied threat, saying that if you dont approve it, we will be striking every year.. I say, if you want to be paid the same as private hospitals, then go work at private hospital.
In the meantime, I hope their medical licenses get cancelled.
