Doctors in Seoul Walkout in Protest of Government Plan to Address Doctor Shortage
The entitled and selfish doctors in Seoul have decided to walkout and leave patients without care:
A hospital affiliated with Seoul National University Hospital remains relatively quiet on June 17, 2024, as senior doctors go on an indefinite walkout in protest against the medical school quota hike.
Patients were denied appointments and sent home without treatment as a majority of doctors at Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) and its three affiliates went on an indefinite walkout, demanding reconsideration of the medical school quota hike.
On Monday, 529 senior doctors, or 54.7 percent of those at SNUH and its three affiliates, began an indefinite strike in protest against the government’s first increase of the nationwide medical school admission quota in 27 years, by about 1,500 slots for next year.
The walkout is set to be followed by a nationwide one-day general strike by community doctors on Tuesday, although only a fraction of them are expected to join the collective action.
Doctors at SNUH, one of the most prominent university general hospitals in South Korea, are demanding that the government cancel administrative penalties imposed on protesting trainee doctors and reconsider the 2025 medical school quota hike.

Strip them of all their assets, make the selfish bastards work for nothing or starve.
More proof that AI is needed NOW to replace these white-collar ‘professionals’ who are entitled.
As I have said before, Korea is changing and is going to change.

As I have written before, more than 8 million Koreans in their 50’s to 60’s will retire in the next four years. There will be a lot of empty jobs available begging for workers. And many of them are blue-collar jobs. And AI and robots cannot easily replace those jobs, as the white-collar jobs. Although the physical labor is harder, young blue-collar workers will make double the money that their blue-collar parents made. Those young blue-collar workers will make better money than many white-collar office workers of their peers. Things are changing and things will change for sure.
You can already see this evidence. Up to only a few years ago, there was some serious focus on studies to become civil servants, to the detriment of the economy. The rate of competition to be hired as civil servants was something crazy like 1000 to 1 or something. Now, nobody wants to become a civil servant, and the government has a tough time attracting young applicants these days, as young people shy away from applying.
Thanks for that KM. Two examples of Confucianism crumbling on the southern half of the peninsula.
Pak Hyeong-min has quit his white collar job to become a cleaner and doubled his money.
Jang Yoon-hae has quit SNU Medical School to become a house carpenter … and the only member of his construction crew to wear PPE … so his medical studies are still useful.
AI at the current time is crap; but these doctors complaining sound like greedy losers.
Whatever happened to “First, do no harm”?
Fire them all.
