Five patients die of young doctors’ strike across Punjab

YDA STRIKE

Five patients lost lives due to Young Doctors Association (YDA) strike in different cities of Punjab. Doctors deliberately left their duties to show solidarity with the YDA leaders arrested in Lahore.
Four patients died in Allied Hospital Faisalabad when doctors were on strike along with a baby girl who died in Lahore due to doctor’s negligence.
Sources said that patients were suffering with medical emergencies across different cities and there was no one to look after in hospital emergencies.

    These doctors should move to Europe where they will be treated like humans. These patients can be treated by the politicians they have voted into power.

    i m totally in dotors favor, even i dont live in Pakistan, but govt pay them too low. After all that studies, what they deserve? few bucks? Everyone have to admit the reality, everyone does not become doctor coz they want to serve patients, i give my own example, when i had to decided what should be i in futre. i chose medical after searching online what field will give me money. i dont want to study for years and than still living low level life. do you? or any one else out there? doctors are not to serve 9 to 5. they are there to serve 24/7. Give doctors their proper rights and then if they dont do their job proper then arrest them. As a medical student i do not have a life, study all the time, no time for famlity after all that if i m getting low income in future i m sorry i dont want to be a doctor. Thank You!!
