Doctors back at work today

[NewsWhore]

For a second day running Dominican doctors kept their promise and walked the picket lines yesterday as part of a two-day work stoppage. The strike is aimed at putting pressure on the government to give the doctors a pay raise, but the doctors haven't accomplished much other than keeping thousands of citizens out of the reach of much needed health care. Talks between the doctors and government officials have broken down and supporters of the doctor's strike took to the streets to voice their opinions. At the Robert Reid Cabral Hospital the situation was calm, although there was considerable activity in the emergency room. Doctors said they would treat patients in emergency situations during the strike.
